If you have a good idea you can profit from it. In communism you own nothing. The state owns everything.
@Musicman Lies, I have a finished invention with Davison in Pittsburgh, PA, $8,000 down the drain, they promised me a specific very large manufacturing company that specialized with my designs I worked for years on to specific technical specifics, when I signed with them, when they finished the prototype, which took two years, they sent it to a different manufacturing company that didn't even make even close to what my designs were for, they had it for five months then sent it back to Davison without looking at i, this was between February 2020 to July 2022, then they wanted another $400 to submit the prototype to another irrelevant manufacturing company, I refused. If I had the money to hire a to sue I would, I got the payment money after I won my disability, it came from part of my upfront lump sum payment of $22,500. I am still beyond pissed because I actually conceived of my designs in late November 1989 when I was 19. I'd work on it slowly because I'd get stuck with part of the design then have to put it aside until the solution came to me, the longest brain freeze was about 15 years.

@NativePortlander1970 So you just blantenly signed with them without having your lawyer review the contract and you got screwed???
@Musicman My oldest step sister is a retired prosecutor, she said the contract appeared legit, when I told her in July 2022 what they did she advised me to sue them.

@Musicman I had no money left to sue, so my almost 35 year lifelong dream that I worked hard on is gone
