Pay To Pee
-
Here's a legal battle over a urine bag. A what?!? Okay, see, it's what fighter pilots wear so they can pee without going to a bathroom (the pee turns solid in the bag, preventing odor and spillage), and the military buys a lot of them from the company that patented them. Make that "bought," because another company stepped in and bid for the contract and won because it employs disabled workers, giving it an automatic win under federal law... yet charges twice as much as the original. The original company is suing, noting that the competitor's product appears to be a patent infringement. The issue here is the federal government giving an automatic preference for social reasons that end up costing taxpayers a fortune. (KGTV/San Diego)
