Good goy

I guess if I'm being less inflammatory, what I really mean is that the right to repair movement is not really pro-rights at all, it's anti producer rights. It's lobbying for the consumer's unequal right to subpoena information from producers of goods or worse, force them to produce and sell things against their will. This is anti-property powers that even the government is generally not granted and against the founding principles of not just a free market but capitalism itself.

Imagine if you were making a product and some IAS wanted you to sell a bespoke part at a fixed price, and since you can't produce enough of to meet demand and sell your actual product at a reasonable price, you go bankrupt. Or since someone can't figure out how to diagnose a (possibly self inflicted) problem, they want you to release circuit diagrams with trade secrets.

This is not what free software activists are supposed to fight for.
>Advocate to do with what is yours as is yours and others with what is theirs as is theirs, not others as is yours or yours as is theirs

If complete openness in schematics and selling replacements is the way forward, you must prove it economically. I think the DIY electrical measuring equipment is quickly blazing this path. There are a few software projects that add modern functionality to old oscilloscopes as well as new ones that are low end or lock software features behind paywalls by feeding data into an external computer. CERN released schematics for a very high performance DMM just because they are betting on help from tinkerers and other interested parties making it better (and more importantly cheaper!) than a contract. Make what happened to 3D printers happen to everything, and better. The only way to fuel this is demand, and demand is created by things that are shitty when people want better. "Right to repair" is setting for less.

settling not setting

tsmt, people didn't gang up and form some retarded movement when consumer 3D printing companies started put DRM in printer spools, they just hacked around the limitations and built their own

>>33540
meant to say lobbying movement

Right to repair means right to repair, right. So thats a good thing.
I dont think right to repair gives manafacturers the obligations to make repair parts.

Nophono says you can't repair what you have with parts you can find unless its some edge case that requires breaking DMCA 1201 which I said I disagree with

what if we just increased taxes and regulations for all ultra big buisnesses worldwide and decreased those for small and medium sized buisnesses

The solution is not a top heavy tax scheme, but lowering taxes by more than an order of magnitude. Then IMO you put a flat income tax and nothing else but tbh the implementation is almost irrelevant if taxes were at a sane level

Up

up again

>I am a production rights activist. Means of production lie in the producer. I am not a commie, and right to repair is bad. Being anti right to repair is keyed because it increases demand for more open alternatives and for demonopolization. It is accelerationist. Forcing companies to make things regardless of who sets the prices is literal slavery. This is not bait.

Just what the epstein class wants. You are the perfect niggercattle.

How can a eurocuck country that gives everyone a multiple week long vactions a year or any state in the united states besides oklahoma afford anything in a system like this? My state is tax niggerhell for everyone and our roads are shit. It's not like any politician is gonna cut the budget of the military down to relief any citizens.

You think that some nophono getting elected and slashing all taxes for everyone for a single term until he gets voted out is gonna do us any good and not just justify normies to vote the goycattle way after the trash unions striked for two months?

At some point if every white country in the planet taxcodecucks Jeff Bezos he's either gonna have to live in Niggerhell or lose all freedom of will or choice if he decides to move to Jakarta or China or Russia.

Tsmt. By forcing repairablity on everyone you’re either admitting it’s economically inferior or that you want to help big corporations succeed. Geg
