Heh. Like the dill holes who copyrighted the very idea of corn. Now, all corn sold to farmers is engineered so that when it grows, all of the corn it produces is sterile, so farmers can’t grow crops from their own crop, and if the farmer figures out a way around it, he gets sued. Sound evil? Don’t be surprised, these *are* the same people who invented Agent Orange, after all.
Just in case someone runs across your comment like I did…
“Monsanto and Terminator Seeds – Monsanto is a corporation which specializes in creating GMO (genetically modified organism) technology and genetically altering seeds, especially soy, to improve the crop yield. Their “terminator seeds” are modified to only last one generation to ensure that farmers have to annually purchase new seeds from the organization. This method poses an environmental concern being that it significantly reduces crop diversity and introduces many GMOs into the earth.” https://cases.open.ubc.ca/monsanto-and-terminator-seeds/
“…From 1965 to 1969, the former Monsanto Company manufactured Agent Orange for the U.S. military as a wartime government contractor. The current Monsanto Company has maintained responsibility for this product since we were spun-off as a separate, independent agricultural company in 2002. From 1965 to 1969, the former Monsanto Company was one of nine wartime government contractors who manufactured Agent Orange.” https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/agent-orange-background-on-monsantos-involvement/
No! Those bastards. Taking away her luxurious hair is a crime against beauty and intellectual property!
They’ve patented the gene sequence responsible for her hair; they haven’t taken away her hair.

That’s the free market at work!
Hooray for the free market! It solves everything! :3
It makes me sad that people actually believe these things.

Allowing the “free market” to own people’s genes is insanity. That needs to be reversed.
