While I don't disagree, it is the one topic that has the same culture around the globe, and will be the one I fight for.
Healthcare, specifically IP rights for drugs, were already being forced down our throats by Americans. Mandates for State owned corporations to be less about the people, but more about maximising profits, is something that only matters to some. Let alone takes on what is acceptable on national tarifs on things like agriculture.
There is nothing I have seen I liked about this thing from prior leaks, and I haven't had the time to comb through the pdfs myself yet. The problem lies with the culture around the talks, where if you don't toe the line, your country is out of the "cool kids club" when it comes to international trade, which even after all these years, and treaties, is a contentious topic that literally fuels numerous economies.
Looking to TPP for safeguards around open source is like picking out which is the cute one in a nest of baby rattlesnakes.

The answer to any question one might have about the TPP is always, “it ain’t good.”
