This has got to be satire!
If not, the world is crazier than I thought. The problem with capitalism today are the ridiculous patents and lengths of patents; and the selling of patents that are past due the original date. Politicians are being bought out, and in the process, so is competition. That is destroying free market enterprise.
Not satire, and yes the world is crazy.
BTW: if you stop and examine the current Apple plastic shopping bag, you gotta admit it’s pretty darned impressive for what it is. Now with the move away from plastic bags (prohibited outright in some jurisdictions), they’re trying to make a paper bag so good you’ll feel bad about discarding it.
