    To steel man their argument, dont agriculture companies like Monsanto develop resistance and things that get around real problems?

    If they cant patent their seed then how would those solutions come into being. Surely life saving pharmaceuticals could be classified the same, or shelter, yet we still allow private ownership of those things.

      The solutions should come into being by governments funding the research instead of funding wars.

      Same goes for pharmaceuticals (which the US does contribute a lot of money to)
