    You missed one of my questions

    If the US patent system is just, then should we pay reparations to Native Americans and black people?

    If the US patent system is just, then Chinese companies could just buy the parents here and be the “inventors” of. Is that just to you? Is it just when Google does it?

    if a Chinese person thought of it first, no they didn’t, they’re not smart enough. Yeah exactly, you’re bigoted

        So is it stealing when Google buys the patents from small inventors and says it’s theirs?

        Was it stealing when Thomas Jefferson stole his slave’s ice cream recipe and said it was his? Should the Hemmings family be given compensation?

          No. It’s monopolization.

          Was it stealing when Thomas Jefferson stole his slave’s ice cream recipe and said it was his?

          No. It’s slavery.
