If you have common sense and know that rich people can afford to invest into any of their future competitors with very little financial risk in doing so, then yes it was always that way. People (as in the left) really believe that suddenly when or if green energy arrives it will table flip the big oil industry and those in charge when that's not the case at all. No different than vapes to cigarettes. The ciggy companies own the patents to vaping too.
Sure. I was just speaking to the irony of the situation. That no matter what way you turn it's alway a small group of people that control everything. I didn't mean it in a screechy leftist way.
No offense taken or given either. It's just amazing to think that there are people out there that believe people who made their fortune from investing are just going to stop this one time for the newest energy boom. When in reality they got told first by the government, the companies that need investment and were given the red carpet treatment to invest first which made these green inventions exist in the first place.
Yes things are a bit more complicated than many people think. Happy thoughts and moral exhibitionism are not what get things done.
That's because the mob and our government merged a long time ago.
Only shitty dime-store vapes are directly sold by tobacco companies. Of course they get the nicotine from somewhere, which I figure is tobacco. But what I'm saying is vaping doesn't appear to be patented in a way the prevents you from doing it without permission from a patent holder. Or the Chinese are just completely ignoring the patents. I could believe that.
