Economists Argue Patent System Should Be Abolished
Meanwhile, a group of Very Rich White Guys(tm) directly abusing the patent system argue that "if those economists were so good at their jobs, they'd be richer and whiter than they are, and thus here's our campaign contributions to ensure this never happens".
When questioned about the ambiguous syntax and whether this meant abolishing the patent system would never happen or if the economists would never become richer or, in the Very Rich White Guys'(tm) words, "whiter", the VRWG simply stared back at this reporter with angry glares on their faces and took note of the website for whom I report, getting their checkbooks ready and speed-dialing congresspeople.
