Oh yes. No value at all. That is why he stole Colonel Armstrong's FM radio
patents and drove him into poverty and eventually to suicide. Armstrong was
the inventor of FM radio. Sarnoff/RCA "bought" (stole) his patents in order
to commercialize thetechnoogy and produce marketable products, i.e. radios.
Sarnoff paid Armstong far less than was legally required of him. Armstrong
spent a large portion of his life trying to collect what was rightfully his
from RCA.

The damage done to Earth and her inhabitants from GMO agriculture and the
chemicals required to grow those crops is almost incalculable. From this we
have no bees (nicotinoid insecticidal GMO seed coatings and plant
application), no plants other than GMO in monocrop ag and a poisoned
environment from herbicide use in agriculture and landscaping, inedible
food and contaminated soil and water, loss of wildlife habitat and loss of
wildlife diversity.
