dikenson Reconcile this! OECD shows US dairy subsidies=$6.7 billion; NZ dairy subsids=$0. US dairy says keep NZ out of US bc unfairly supported. #TPP

@RomanHardgrave @tylercowen He’s a clever economist & an engaging speaker. Loved the wit of the animations, too. Juggling my favourite.

dikenson The #TPP deal contains few yarn-forward exceptions. NCTO reportedly “satisfied.” NCTO’s satisfaction is paid for by poor people everywhere.

@sdonnan @Westin Feel for you. In trade negotiations you eat, pee whenever you can (if you leave the table you loose). Hope @Westin fixed it
