If Tim Walz wants to make a run for the presidency

Or whatever Democrat wants to run, if we have another election anyway, please for the love of god learn these words:

Right to Repair
Right to Plant

For the good of the people just learn those words

They won’t of course, no politician will. Because capital rules the world, not ethics.

But maybe, just maybe, somebody will get the message one day and reach those folks in my part of the world and we can stop the endless ratchet towards full fascism.

Agree with both. As a DIY individual I am often frustrated by the inability to buy parts without a commercial license. I am guessing the claim s for my safety, but I suspect the real reason is to protect the manufacturers and the tradespeople. For example, a condenser motor went bad on my a/c, but was unable to find a place to sell me one locally unless I was a licensed service technician. The repair service charges $500+ to replace a $40 part that takes less than half an hour. And then they use that high fee to convince you that your a/c is too old and needs to be replaced. Luckily we have one place in town that sells HVAC parts to the general public.

@trollslayer That’s absolutely the reason.

It’s all for profit. Nobody can repair their tractors without buying from John Deere, nobody can plant seeds without buying from Monsanto.

It is killing our ability to produce food unless those that grow pay enough to their overlords.

Democrats could reach rural Americans if they started doing those things.

Instead they’ll throw us queer folks under the bus and move farther right.
