This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ideally, yeah. Unfortunately, we live under capitalism, so there should be safeguards for people who actually make and invent things to benefit from their creations, for a reasonable time. Unfortunately, we live under capitalism, and this became another tool for corporations.

But that's not capitalism.

If you invent something and someone can make it cheaper than you can then they should profit off it not you.
