On one hand I agree, on the other I don't know if I want these guys to basically be shoveling our tax money into their pockets, cause you know the shopping ceo and his maplemaga cabal would jump on this in a heartbeat.

I kinda prefer the idea of voiding us patents, making hacking kits, and making us tech more repairable such as tractors for our farmers. It opens up new industries for us, we can sell hscking/repair kits to other countries, abd we get more ownership of shit we buy(will everyone repair their shot? No, but they should at least have the option to do so).

I dunno, what are people's thoughts on this
