That is great news... I think. I am generally in favor of free trade but the fact that the content of the TPP was not public was very troublesome to me and so I have no idea whether I would have supported it or not. I did not like the rumours on IP and investment but who knows.

TIL that Greg Ip, a childhood friend, is no longer the economics editor at the Economist. I used to be susbscribed but it took me ten days to read it and, as it is a weekly, I always just got farther and farther behind. Great mag though.
