   If you're even vaguely familiar with #RightToRepair , care about #ClimateChange #Sustainability and #PlannedObsolescence this is amazing news!

   Credit where it's due ... thanks to #LouisRossman and many more for 10 years of work to finally have a major victory over #JohnDeere which was lobbying hard to stop farmers from having the right to fix their own property.

   After ten years, John Deere FINALLY lost

     Also, a little history on #JohnDeere It's well known that they "innovated" in the industry by visiting Farmers and copying their modifications and equipment, and then claiming them as their own.

     Like in the case of so many "innovators" who stole from the #commons and then enclosed it for profits.

     Remarkable familiar to the story of #MicroSoft

     And of course this includes all the other companies that are intentionally creating products with short life cycles which are depleting our resources and destroying the planet for short term profit.

     FIXING THINGS USES A FRACTION OF THE RESOURCES THAN REPLACING THEM
