Congress outraged over hepatitis C treatment VA can't afford

Notice they didn't claim he did it on the VA's dime or with VA resources, but he did while working for the VA. Seems to me a lot of people owe their lives to this man, but instead of giving him a medal some people seem to want him eviscerated and are calling for investigations.

It's fairly standard practice in both the public and private sector for employees who may work in R and D to sign an agreement to the effect that any intellectual property they develop while employed belongs to their employer. It's a ****ty practice, but practically everyone does it. Back when I worked in Corporate America, I developed a number of algorithms for grocery inventory management based on shelf velocities. I cannot sell those, even though I developed them at home, on my own computer. I had to turn them over to the company when I left.

Whether they are convincing or not to you doesn't really matter. There's a world that exists outside your own head, and it's only a Google search away.

I'm npot going to do your googling for you. If you want to debate something, the burden is on you to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the subject.

Of course not. You are free to continue demonstrating your ignorance.

P.S. I'm tired of this pointless back and forth. If you refuse to educate yourself, you may have the last word.
