If the incumbent conservative party loses the presidency in a few weeks, the lack of meaningful right to repair regulation over the past two decades is most certainly one of the problems that has contributed to our society being so brittle, which will amplify the destructive effects of the populist reactionaries. Really the only way out of the current pickle is to fix the longstanding problems that the reactionaries are using to rally around while also keeping them away from power so they can't pull the self destruct levers.

- mindslight 2y agoI don't get the point you're making in regards to my comment? It's great that things are starting to change, and perhaps all the recent attention will have affected the market in a decade. But that doesn't really change where the power dynamic is right now, and its being part of why so many people feel the authoritarian boot on their necks but have been primed to blame it on the de jure government while ignoring all of the other entities exercising coercive power. And with this topic, unfortunately I don't see how it can be fixed any way but government regulation, similar to laws about building codes, unauthorized access, breach of fiduciary duty, etc.
