And you think that a Congress that lets the economy slide towards depression in favor of the rich at the expense of the rest of us really gives a damn about patent reform. Except for what their handlers want.

Apologies. This comment is not worthy of a HN regular, but I am feeling really cranky these days.




Many people in large technology companies are threatened by software patentes, and spend lots of time and money defending and preparing to defend against them. Were these people (who are among the richest in the world) left out of the controlling congress conspiracy club?


Yes. Congress is made up mostly of lawyers, who get rich off such nonsense.

It's also largely controlled by old money and Eastern money, not nuevo riche California tech money.
