As bad as patents are, at least they expire.

Those pirate home-cookers are putting people out of jobs in the restaurant industry. I suggest 5-10 years jail time for anyone caught cooking at home, and that all stores selling food for home-cooking customers should be shut down immediately with no due process! And if that doesn't work, as a final solution, I suggest a 6-strike plan to "educate" people that home-cooking is wrong and everyone should be buying from restaurants. Otherwise who knows what kind of immoral society we'll turn into! And by the way, these are 100% my original ideas, and I wasn't inspired by anything when creating them. Hmm..I should probably patent them. Homecooking is LITERALLY like stealing food from a restaurant.
