It’s hard not to be pessimistic here and personally I’m a huge fan of the movement, but won’t right to repair be considered a woke thing under the current administration?
it’s very easy to frame it as “farmers should be able to repair their own equipment” or “car owners should be able to fiddle with their cars”
The gays want to force you to work in sweatshops to repair their phones!
I mean yeah, but that’s irrelevant to state law. Of course the fear that the federal government intervenes against states trying to implement it exists, but the federal government’s position is too precarious for them to do such a stunt.
I figured as much, but given the unprecedented moves coming out of the federal government, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump tries an executive order and signs some kind of emergency powers invocation to establish a national security threat. Regardless, I’m just waxing lyrical here.
They’ll say something like “these companies do business across state borders, so only federal law applies” and then everybody will just let them do it
I’m not American but the right to repair is a socialist/communist thing that empowers poor people, and bothers companies that now have to follow more regulations. I don’t understand how it was accepted. But we’re living in weird times so…
You mean the insidious specter of socialism, with its tentacles of totalitarian control reaching deep into every aspect of private life. The one that threatens to strangle individual initiative beneath its crushing weight of collectivist dogma, while its shadowy operatives who side with communism secretly manipulate the levers of power from within, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and impose their godless Marxist utopia upon our great devices. /s
