Nah, that's boilerplate. You make something using their equipment, on their premises etc, it's theirs. That's pretty standard.

Where do you work, that enough people want to touch your hair for there to be a policy about it!?

OP

Let's not forget about the free passes America gave to the lunatics responsible for those atrocities, in exchange for the data they collected. Pretty sweet deal.

I should add: yes, there's wastage and corruption and it's horribly imperfect, but the guiding principle is much more humane, imo, and let's not kid ourselves that a straight-up private market solution is any sensitive to corruption, in particular.

Nup, because sensible regulation checks and balances the profit motive - which is precisely what *doesn't* happen when you leave it to the market to provide services. Yes, everyone pays and some will benefit more than they contribute, but you do it because you actually give a shit about other human beings. What happens when tax funds common healthcare is that you don't have grandma saving up to pay for her diabetes medication, and dying when she can't. What happens is that the manufacturers become accountable to an ethic of common good first, and shareholders second.

No worries, it's how you learn :)

You know that's not what he means

HOW DARE YOU

He didn't want to. He was too committed to his god.
