Wait till you get a hold of my left-handed smoke sifter.

CNN is afraid that the US will no longer be considered a technological powerhouse. They fear this because the US filed less patents this year than in any of the previous 13 years. If you’re not so slow that you count on the likes of CNN to influence ANY aspect of your life, you should find it cute that the mature grown-ups that make the news(remember now, they’re not reporting it, they’re making this shit up) consider our innovation as a country to be dependent upon how many patents we file.
Honestly, who isn’t smart enough to realize that we as a country stopped being a technological innovator a very long time ago? We’re globally ridiculed for the sheer volume of bullshit patents we generate and for the fact that we use almost all of them to siphon money from the real innovators that inadvertently tread upon one of the millions of overlapping patents that we have filed simply for this reason. We’re a country of opportunistic trolls.
