Bayer acquires Monsanto

So because China doesn't respect our laws we should just abandon our laws?

Well, if China’s not going to be prosecuted, then it does render the existing laws an undue hinderance on domestic companies...

No - because if the law was followed - China's shit would be seized by an ITC order at the port of entry...and POTUS would slap them silly with tariffs or embargos....If they want to throw sand in our sand box - we kick them out of the sand box...that fucking simple.....but money and corruption prevents this.

So then we agree that the law is not being followed or prosecuted - except domestically.

It's barely followed domestically....and no - just because the system is fucking broken does not mean patents, in general, are bad.....read Madison's and Jefferson's letters....

It's a really, really, truly horrible idea to give one company complete control over the food supply.
