Let the fucking hacking begin. Fuck these assholes. They are milking people out of their last penny, and on top of that they're selling people's driving data to data brokers who sell it to insurance companies that jack up prices.

And by using that internet connected feature you're 100% handing out your driving info to your car manufacturer, who in turn will sell it to LexisNexis, who in turn will sell it to insurance companies, who in turn will jack up your insurance prices.

Here is one video of many he has made about John Deere and how they're being absolute scums of the earth. Louis actually helped the farmers win some cases in several states. A lot of people on the internet love to shit on Rossmann (mostly about his personality), but the man has been tremendous work. He's a fucking fighter.

This is correct. And the connection is major. I, as a former farmer, can tell you that repairing my own equipments is a matter of life or death (for my crops). Rice for example, required a constant stream of cold(~~riger~~ river temp cold) and fresh water for 6 months straight. Non-stop. If my diesel powered water pump breaks and I can't fix it, I only have a couple of days (if at all) to fix it, otherwise, all that rice is just dead. So, I always had parts available at my house for just in case. I'd also had two diesel water pumps at the river, in case one broke and took a while to fix, so I can fire up the second one. Same thing with my harvesting machine..... the list goes on and on. It's absolutely essential that farmers fix their own equipments. What John Deere is doing should make every human being angry, because this is our food they're messing with.

This is what Louis Rossmann has been screaming and fighting about for years. It's the most fucked up shit ever. It is affecting our food supplies and we are not paying attention to it.

My cat just likes to scratch and stretches wherever she sees something scratchable 😂

Lobbying is bribes, plain and simple, and people shouldn't be complacent with it and think of it as "just a part of politics". No, it's not. It's fucking bribes.

"Hey, I'm making laws that puts you in prison if you helped certain people, but then question you when you don't help them". Best logic ever.

That's the only reason why I have never been able to use GIMP. I have 4k monitors and the UI on it is all jacked up

Look what you did? You opened a can of worms. Lmao. You could have just let it slide and I would have caught it, because I'm a maniac and always go back to my comments and re-read them.
