Thanks Biden.
If Republicans win the White House, they will install another pro-business, anti-consumer head of the EPA (and other agencies, of course) which will undo any Right-2-Repair progress we have made in recent years.

That's why it's so vital that important decisions such as this are enshrined into law, anything short of that is unfortunately just a band-aid solution. As we've seen with the supreme court, even a long term band-aid solution is still just a band-aid solution.
Exactly. Bandaids are meant to be removed once the underlying issue is fixed.
What makes you think law matters? SCOTUS can gut whatever laws they want with their bullshit.
TL;DW:
- Why is the EPA of all government orgs involved in this? A: Because the claim by John Deere was that you can't repair your own shit due to "emissions concerns."
- Okay so what did the EPA do? A: Read this article which is what he reads out loud in the video
- Will this actually do anything? A: Shrug emoji
FYI emojis work fine 🤷♀️

Fuck John Deere

There's a kinda inactive one here: !righttorepair@lemmy.fmhy.ml. I wonder if it went down with the .ml thing.
Yeah, looks like lemmy.fmhy.ml is down now due to the Mali government. Maybe I can try and make new community? https://sh.itjust.works/post/1484592
