Eisenhower warned us about this kind of eventuality, and I personally never thought it could ever get this far. Outrageous.

  If you're referring to the military industrial complex, I don't think this is what Eisenhower was warning about.

    > If you're referring to the military industrial complex, I don't think this is what Eisenhower was warning about. The opposition to the "right to repair" is coming from the "military industrial complex" That complex is the nexus of industrial players who have become to feel entitled to anything they want That is what they are doing with the opposition to "right to repair" and that is what, in general terms (he was predicting the future - cut him some slack) Eisenhower was warning about.

      The military-industrial complex is a complex of the interactions between the military and the industry that supplies it, not just the latter. It's the industry side of the complex that is opposing it, the military is asking for it.

      It is just business in general that opposes the "right to repair" . Military contractors are not exception to the rule and there's no need to single them out specifically. We have a business culture that unhealthily prioritize short term profit at the expenses of product excellence and stakeholders.

    An easy litmus test if a company is part of the complex is whether they're a defense contractor or not. The companies in TFA don't pass this smell test.
