WTO? WTF

Posted by Gareth about one hour ago. Nov 16

This has to be one of the most surreal and ridiculous things I’ve read in a long time:

At a Wharton Business School conference on business in Africa, World Trade Organization representative Hanniford Schmidt announced the creation of a WTO initiative for “full private stewardry of labor” for the parts of Africa that have been hardest hit by the 500 years of Africa’s free trade with the West.

Reading the article, it’s basically a free-market version of slavery.
