  1. NOBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PATENT LIFE, PERIOD. This shit has gotten WAY TOO FAR out of control and the gaslighting is DEEP. There was even an episode on a popular legal show from years back where it framed this issue as perfectly legitimate and the "nice" asshole who was suing his friend for "stealing" his "patented" seeds as perfectly normal. Un-fucking-believable. We need to bring back the Commons NOW.

  2. The developing world is suffering now from the last 50 years of corporate expansion from the so-called corporate-driven Green Revolution. It's incredibly gratifying and inspiring to see how some regions have made the decision to start moving away from all corporate seeds and chemical farming. They're returning to their old ways, their ancient foodstuffs and their ancient wisdom; and by doing so are regenerating the land, bringing money back to their communities and are regaining dignity as food producers. It's really amazing.

  3. FDR died unfortunately extremely untimely. Had he lived many things may have been different.

  4. I'm pretty sure EVERY public regulatory agency at every level is thoroughly corp controlled currently and has been for a long time.

  7. Huh. It's almost like the privatization of everything is a terrible idea. But I dunno I'm just a weirdo who thinks certain things should be off-limits from the wacko mega-capitalist class.

  8. So long as the elite profits of a few matter more than the common good of all, neither free seed nor anything else will be freely or easily available for most people this country. And THAT'S why I'm a good 7/10 Communist. There's a place for a private market and some patents but not here and not this! Not farming and not seeds, the building blocks of life. This is going way too far. Shame on these crooks everywhere.

  10. Thank you for these smart addendums. Yes any way you slice it it's quite disgusting and I'm just sick of it and I just pray that's going to change my lifetime. We need to f these corps to hades and back. The fact that they cut all those positive programs off like turning off a light, in 1946, which I was already aware of to an extent, just goes to show you the absence of decency and concern anybody in government at any level but esp federal has here for the general population. They will ONLY do something positive if it helps in a so-called war effort ( and sometimes not even then). Anarchism is better than living under of these fascist destructive indifferent good-for-nothings. The fact that we subsidize billion-dollar corps and literally hand out hundreds of millions if not many billions to Wall Street scum is really quite amazing and yet they claim they don't have the money to alleviate just the most severe forms of poverty much less general insecurity. It's like living under the most corrupt gangster organization you can think of and then I think no actually- it's probably worse.
