It’s true that innovation thrives if shared, but it still would suck for the innovaor without temporary protection. Maybe he gets satisfaction from inventing some fancy stuff, but it doesn’t pay the bills if the next day someone in china just make a cheaper copy of the invention and outsell the innovator. It would be even worse if that person in china, not only copy the invention, but made it better.
It’s fantastic for us as a consumer because it’s cheaper and better of course
IP is supposed to provide advantage for inventors/innovators by giving them temporary protection from copycats.
That is to motivate people to invent/innovate. The problem is that the law keeps getting modified to extend the time before the protection expires and corporations abusing them in strange ways.
The silent problem with extending the expiration is that innovators will just stop innovating and milk the IP advantage they have.
Where’s QAnon when we need them?
US annexes Israel and makes it a US state.
That is actually an excellent idea.
- Israel will get the benefit of US security and Hamas will get crushed.
- Israel doesn’t have to pay any tariffs for exporting its technologies to the US AND get access to US defense budget
- US have a military foothold in the middle east
- Their values already are closer to the US than Canada
Fuck Canada, Israel should be the 51st State
see if she’ll survive a no confidence vote if it happens now
Isn’t Austria’s military service age lower than 21?
They can just join military and access guns there
I wonder if US also warned to leave Israel before Israel attacked
US is probably trying to get some of the benefits that new Over-The-Horizon Radar that Canada just bought from Australia. Just remember, Canada needs the Dome less than US since US is more aggressive abroad. So don’t get trampled in the negotiations. plus, it probably wouldn’t protect Canada if the missile comes from inside the dome.
There’s probably a Russian agent that got pregnant from him
Soon Trump would want to get free chips made for the “promise” of defending Taiwan.
Then quickly drop the whole idea of any deals involving defending Taiwan and calling it a win for saving money of not putting troops to defend the country
Maybe Germany should also focus more on creating a lot of good jobs too. There will be less people attracted to alternative parties peddling them crazy solutions to their problems
Well, US wouldn’t have it’s critical mineral if US abandons Ukraine. Considering China is controlling their Critical Mineral exports, the next viable option is to buy from the country US wants to invade: Canada and Greenland
Don’t they have to take it out of the pouch if they want to use the phone in Hungary?
China could also say only Chinese ships docking at Chinese ports and now there’s a nice middlemen that also adds cost to the price.
The most efficient is probably ship to Mexico or Canada and import through land, but still need middlemen to do them + extortion by Cartels in Mexico.
It’s going to be bad for the US mining companies abroad. They’ll be exposed to locals looking for trouble or money
Just don’t be miffed if Americans does the same thing and not come to Canada. They would be responding to what we’re doing.
We all should be understanding that most of us didn’t want this to happen and hunker down and wait for better times
Canada and Greenland should also institute export licensing rules on critical minerals too
Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t realize china produces most of neodymium magnets
