Biden supposedly signed an Executive Order for Right to Repair (one of the rare things I'd give him a thumbs up for).
I was expecting Louis Rossmann to talk more about it, or bring it up more (as to why nothing's been done since that was done like 1.5 years or so ago), but most of the times when I flip on it's some randomness going on with his life and I don't visit youtube as often as more for such updates.
Executive order referenced (haven't read):

Rossmann's initial video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE-qEDjUJYY
I don't know what's happening with that executive order either. I'd be curious to see if that executive order even has bite. Because it's actually a good one if nothing else was shoehorned into it.
Right to Repair is integral. We own our hardware, we do not license it. Also, by making our software dependent on what is essentially NFTs (e.g. face/touch ID not working when display is replaced with identical display, or slowing phones down, etc.) it is exclusively there to make more money at the consumer's (hefty) expense.
If I buy a $1200 phone, I want to be able to repair it for a couple hundred dollars rather than dump another $1200. But the hoops and cost of going through Apple directly is ridiculous.
Agreed, big tech making stuff intentionally non-repairable is a huge problem. However, there is another huge problem: Biden was never duly elected, he got in by fraud. And as far as I'm aware, anyone who got into office by fraud - any laws or policies created are invalid and null and void. Whether they are "good" or "bad".
Stuff like this, doesn't it make you start to question - if the plan was to make the Dems and Biden expose themselves and how they are doing everything bad, why this? Doesn't it then give normies the ammo to say "see? Biden isn't all bad, he's just a poor old man and all that pedo talk is just conspiracy theories"
I dunno, if they try to argue that because he does one thing that is beneficial then they're actually even more unintelligible than I even thought.
One unequally good deed (that seems unenforced) does not absolve the sins of hundreds or thousands of bad ones.
Or you can do like me; buy a Tracfone for $40 (a "smartphone" but without ability to load apps), and pay $28 every 3 months for all the voice and text you would likely need. Anything more, you just use a laptop. The slavery to smart phones that pervades the U.S. still amazes me.

There are some legit things the classical liberals have issue over. How they want to solve them, however, is often problematic.
Right to repair, helping the poor, healthy food, etc.
