        Okay, but how about we still go with the subcontractor, but … Hear me out here … We call it AI and the subcontractor actually works in India for pennies on the dollar? Pivot to that and you’ve got my investment.

      You know, I want software patents, math patents(yes, they are not legal. Yes, they exist.), NDAs, DMCA and mass surveilance to be on list what millenials are killing next.

        Well now I’m bummed out to find out that people are trying to patent math.

        I’m with you on all of those though.

          It gets worse. There are patents on genes of existing species. Like spider silk is patent minefield.

            That one surprises me less, based on the limited stuff I already know about GMO companies like Monsanto. Still madness, of course.
