> Moderately more expensive
This bill hurts the poorest people by making certain products even more inaccessible to them. Before, they could at least have a choice between something they could afford and something repairable. Not anymore, that choice has been taken away from them.
- Spivak 3y agoI'll believe this argument when we start giving a shit about the poor when it comes to the literal basic necessities like food and housing. And plus, this is such shortsighted thinking when the whole point of right to repair is to reduce the total cost of ownership and longevity of electronics by making them not disposable. This reasoning also applies to literally every regulation in every field and product segment. We can apparently never set the bar higher than the ground.

You’re right, we should greatly reduce the regulations around housing in CA to allow for faster development so the poor can have newer, cheaper homes. > And plus, this is such shortsighted thinking No. The issue is the use of force. If you want a repairable option, pay more and get one. You’re forcing the poor to pay more for what you willingly chose to, and that’s bad. Don’t tread on the poor, keep their options open.
