It's related though

2019-01-21 15:27:01 UTC  

Instead of having the economy localised to a country, it becomes transnational spanning the entire globe. Your small start-up company is now at the reach of the entire world rather than your small town

2019-01-21 15:27:13 UTC  

That's globalization

2019-01-21 15:27:29 UTC  

And globalism is a loss of sovereignty to internationalism

2019-01-21 15:27:35 UTC  

Bretton-Woods system

2019-01-21 15:27:39 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-21 15:28:42 UTC  

Bretton Woods system foster globalisation. The EU free movement of goods, services and capital allows for globalisation within the EU, and for foreign businesses that want to work within the EU

2019-01-21 15:29:28 UTC  

Nothing about it says to create a psuedo governmental body to impose unwanted legislation from the top down

2019-01-21 15:31:22 UTC  

Well the unwanted part I don't agree with.

Joining the EU is optional, not mandatory. Countries hold national referendums to enter, knowing what it is and what it offers. Joining the EU isn't a walk in the park either, it requires certain macroeconomic and political goals which are not easy to achieve, and which is why most of the Ex Yugoslav states and Turkey are still on the waiting line

2019-01-21 15:33:28 UTC  

States which have asked to join as well

2019-01-21 15:35:14 UTC  

unless you have Goldman Sachs helping you out, Right, Greece?

2019-01-21 15:35:27 UTC  

And besides I got it wrong, I confused the Bretton Woods agreement with the Treaty of Rome

2019-01-21 15:37:11 UTC  

Regardless the Bretton Woods agreement was more so to install neoliberal based organisations such as the World Bank and the IMF and to peg the US dollar to gold and as the international currency

2019-01-21 15:37:30 UTC  

though the US did abandon it in the 70s under Nixon because of the oil crisis

2019-01-21 15:42:00 UTC  

@Nordhand Hmm, I've been looking at the article and looking into Fair Trade again, and I see the problem. I agree and understand with what Sylla says about the organisation. However, personally I would rather say that the objectives ought to be not to end poverty, but to lift the people they are trying to help *out* of poverty, and to more importantly pay them what they deserve

2019-01-21 15:43:33 UTC  

Ending poverty is the ambitious goal of many philanthropists and altruists, however it's an impossible task simply because poverty can never be eradicated

2019-01-21 15:58:57 UTC  

Thing is, *they know that.*

2019-01-21 16:01:40 UTC  

they don't want to end it. if they did end it. they loose there jobs that pays them millions

2019-01-21 16:02:30 UTC  

Tim explains a lot about the scam that is charity in this video from his own experience in the charity industry https://youtu.be/flodqE3sJew

2019-01-21 16:02:41 UTC  

The thing about poverty, is that it never ends.

So now they can forever be seen as the virtuous philanthropists helping the little people

2019-01-21 16:11:01 UTC  

and speak out about climate change as they fly around in their private jets

2019-01-21 16:38:20 UTC  

We stole their Tea and Curry

2019-01-21 17:12:39 UTC  

Poverty is just an ambiguous term. Because regardless how much money there is each person has the "threshold" of what is poor would just shift.

Except the EU wont allow it. It basically means britian leaves, rejoins, with plans to leave.

2019-01-21 20:00:44 UTC  

yeah, we'll end up relying on the stubborness of Juncker to get Brexit, wew

2019-01-21 20:01:46 UTC  

Well if that admendment passes, which i doubt.

2019-01-21 20:01:55 UTC  

But if they manage to get this through, they will be able to get extension to Article 50 in order to have another referendum, and EU already said they will extend for that reason.
