How do Dataloungers feel about free trade?

Are you for it, or do you hate the global poor?

I prefer rough.

Any trade that is free is probably riddled with STDs.

"Free trade" isn't so much the problem.

The problem is "free trade" agreements that don't require that participating nations meet certain standards for labor protections, workplace safety, consumer safety/quality assurance, environmentally-safer regulations, anti-discrimination protections, anti-child labor laws, etc.

If you give corporations a place to flee to where they can get away with massively more destructive and exploitative practices, then they will go there and do that.

No such thing.

I don't hate the global poor - Free Trade has made me into one of them.
