I am very curious what your opinions are in this regard. I have strong opinions about IP restrictions, which is that I think we need a managed scale down of said restrictions. Still even if your view is different I would like to hear it.

We are aligned on the direction of scale down.

I think my tweaks would be:

(1) lowering the lifetime for non pharma patents

(2) allowing forking from an earlier release of an extended patent

(3) give tax incentives for companies that will not enforce royalties for domestic manufacturers

(4) companies with small enough revenue cannot be sued for IP infringement

I could easily be talked out of these I think but right now this is what I would support

I would like to hear ideas here too. Sometimes just a "tweak" or two is all it takes.

Is this before or after invading Netherlands for ASML's IP?

We don’t even need to change IP. High tariffs is what built the US’ industrial base to begin with and removing them is what allowed it to dwindle. We just need to go back to high tariffs and low taxes and let the economy sort out everything else.

It's too late, the industrial base here is consolidated and run by finance. We need competition inside the walls too
