George Bush just declared his intention to create "Opportunity Zones" in poor areas of the country to allow the US to compete with the rest of the world. My roommates & I all sat bolt upright and swore: that sounds like he wants to create Export Processing Zones here in the US.
For those not familiar with EPZs, they are regions of 3rd world countries in which the labor and environmental regulations of the country are suspended for the benefit of foreign (generally American) corporations. (Check out "No Logo" by Naomi Klein for lots of details on how EPZs work)
These people continue to scare me.
