ISDS owns your country

Holy one sided and overblown story Batman. You know why half the paragraphs start with the word imagine? Because you really have to just imagine all that stuff. Imagine I own a company that does business in a country that is taken over in a coup and all of the commerce is nationalized and my business is lost. Actually, we don't have to imagine too hard, this has actually happened. I can't sue inside country, clearly. It might be nice to have a court to appeal to to try to recoup my losses.

The problem is it's not a court, it's a secret enclave. And that was only part 1 of the article.
