I'm slowly learning that, when the government has a choice between and obvious, smart way of operating, and a clearly dumb way. They choose the dumb way because some chucklefucks in Congress made it illegal to operate the smart way.
Not sure it's dumb... it's just the way... Academic institutions should be able to patent basic research. One would argue that the govt gets a 30% tax cut.. now maybe that's excluded since mosts schools are nonprofit but idk.
