You can globalize for the benefit of humans or corporations. TPP is for the corporations, I would rather it was for all of us.

So, per user, there is a limit on VOAT on cross posting to only two subs. I've already posted here and at /v/canadians , however, this story is extremely important for many other subs. Please cross post this to any subs that you think are relevant including politics, economics, /v/worldpolitics , and any other subs that you make think will benefit from this story.

If you want to know more about the limit imposed by VOAT on cross posting, here is what I could find out and my 2-cents on the topic:

This is a very bad idea ---> "You have reached your daily crossposting quota for this URL." ...here is why.
