The reason intellectual property started is so some jackass couldn't straight steal your book, go to better publishers than yours, and then make more money than the original author.

Books were also popular (esp. with lawyers and judges) and no one wants to see someone else profiting off their creation...

But they have totally commodified Intellectual Property so its now traded like stocks and the original innovator has long been cut out of any of the profit. Just think about how much money Bill Gates continues to make every day off other people's innovations -- because he is the baron of tech that will get his damn cut or else!

People eat Tyson chicken? That's a mistake

Speaking of food can y'all get some rain in California, my avocado prices are going up and it's annoying

the most important thing in the last page is that it isnt pattent law that has given mylen the monopoly that allows them to charge 400% more for their product that doesn't even fucking work.

It is regulation by the FDA and nothing else.

end the FDA

hail trump

FDA writes strongly worded letter to big pharma monopoly

meanwhile raids farmers for selling organic milk

while Juris shivers in his sleep about eating rat poop

after eating dinner, covered in rat poop.

FDA is as good at keeping food and drugs safe, as the bear patrol is at keeping bears out of town, and Lisa's rock is at keeping tigers out of town.

[mickmoranis]

Buy a water bottle today and find me one that doesn't say NO BPA on it, then realize there is no regulation against BPA and then realize that the free market drove the use of non carcinogenic plastic bottles.

I hope you guys are waking up while you read all this. The FDA does nothing. Trump is the best president you'll have in your lifetime that will shut those mother fuckers down.

If we don't think we're special then how can we be special, Azzar? Good ol' "cogito ergo sum" mentality, right? MAGA as an example.

I will say this. The MAGA and "POOR BUT RICH" mentality of Americans at the bottom rung is quite accommodating of success, especially in the cities.

In Germany you can't purchase a Ferrari or "show off" any fruits of labor or anything like that. They will spit and attack your car if you say anything about them spitting on it.

A lot of successful Germans have moved to Los Angeles (among other successful people from socialist blocs) because they said the culture is too unforgiving of success and in America they don't encounter that in the cities here. Here, people want to talk to you, congratulate you, ask you about the car.

In Germany, they want to hurt you, spit on you, destroy the car.

Socialism comes at....social cost. As ironic as that sounds. The cultural landscape would not be all roses and flowers if the USA were socialist. The winners would be punished, shamed, and spit on in the streets no different than Germany.

Something for JurisDictum to think about.
