It is incredibly disturbing that a trade negotiation would be kept secret

8. It is the Corporate Mindset

Do you think CEO's and upper management discuss mergers and acquisitions with the workers they are going to fire/move/etc.? Hell no! They "know" what's best and telling anyone outside the inner circle only leads to bad things.

We all know why they are doing it. They are well aware that people won't like it at all, and that it is indefensible to the majority of workers. So they hide it until it can be passed without debate and everyone told "It's done, nothing to do about it but bend over and take it"


(BTW I do recognize that there are reasons to not discuss possible mergers in public, mostly having to do with avoidance of speculators messing things up. That doesn't apply to Government)
