Russia might not. Oil prices are crashing which is ruining their only remaining reliable income stream.

Damn. All it took was a 5-4 majority vote to completely destroy the bill of rights and any due process that might have existed. America is now a full blown dictatorship and there is NO way out of this without bloodshed.
Pants pulled up high enough to cover the line of the adult diaper tapes.
One of the gates to getting a patent approved is proving that you are attempting to patent it in a timely manner. You're supposed to file a patent within one year of first public disclosure to prove that you're actively protecting your IP and plan to develop it, and if you don't it's grounds for denial.
Palworld alone has been out over a year now, let alone how long most of the Pokemon stuff Nintendo has been patenting. Nintendo has zero grounds for applying these patents, and the fact that they are able to obtain them just because they have more lawyer money means the patent system is completely pointless and laws don't matter.
I limited the losses in my (relatively small) 401k by rebalancing it about three weeks ago into mostly bonds and a few small cap/international funds... So far I'm only down about 4% instead of the total market's 14%. Still losing, yippee
Oops farmers don't have anyone to run harvest equipment anymore because they're all hiding from ICE.
Tinder is a hellhole intentionally designed to keep people lonely and depressed so they'll pay up for the "gold" features. The gender split is well past 80/20 male/female so good luck with straight matches, and the number of bots they leave up to waste your swipes is incredibly high, so even that ratio is probably worse.
Quake 1 was released in 1996. Hardware T&L didn't even exist, I don't think that's the driver's fault that a 90s game can't launch. Unless you're talking about the remaster.
So, if you have enough money, you can just fire off a shitload of ex-post-facto patents after a competitor releases a prior-art product, sue them, and win using patents that didn't exist when the competitor's product was created????
Might as well just close the whole patent system and leave, there's quite literally no point to obeying it if you can so blatantly steal anything and everything.

You could keep flying any plane, but they would be capped at a 20,000ish feet flight ceiling while in Florida airspace. Which would make traffic a lot worse and the flights significantly more expensive.
