International Trade committee  Good afternoon. First of all, I do want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak today. This isn't the first time I've spoken in public. I taught school for 40 years. I did a lot of speaking in public, but I was not always listened to. I would like to focus on the ISDS, please, the special protection that's given to foreign investors that receive a generous public subsidy against the economic risks of democracy and regulations that apply to everyone.
