I've come to notice the only way agreements like NAFTA and the like look "good", either in foresight or hindsight, is in the abstract macro/technocratic sense. Never the empirical real-world sense.

While we know it's been a boon to the one percent, the speciousness of figures supposedly on our side who push this garbage is unforgivable.
