I don't know why John Deere and other manufacturers aren't making parts for these old tractors, if they're not already, seems like a huge market opportunity.
Yes, profits are threatened when rights to repair are allowed, and without profits nobody has a job nor can feed their family. That's why we need small government to get out of the way and make people replace their stuff rather than repair it. It's a basic human corporate right to make people buy more stuff from manufacturers rather than repair or buy parts, and freedom is threatened when people are allowed this choice.
But what about a corporation's right to replace? People having their right to repair infringes on a corporation's right to make you replace your stuff. You're stepping all over their rights by not wanting to be forced to have them replace your broken stuff.
It's not about complexity, it's about convenience. The simplest bid on eBay is... the highest price you'll pay for it.
However, most people didn't think of it that way or want to do that (believe me I worked there for years), and they didn't like the chance to lose it anyway after waiting (snipers and bid shilling got ridiculous).
Fixed price is easier and you get it quicker. It may be less complex but if the price looks reasonable it's definitely more convenient.
How many American military personnel would just be OK with being told by the President to take property rights and freedoms like that? Do you think they're mind-controlled idiots? It doesn't just suddenly happen, we don't have a totalitarian mindset, it would have to be very gradual and against people who are demonized as immoral or as a scourge on society, like Mexicans or Jews or liberals or Christians. Even then it's so easy to spread news and there's so many people with guns and easy accessibility that it's just going to happen unless we become a more complacent fascist country.
Website bloat is why my laptop now runs slow when the browser is open. It's why I had to upgrade last time. Modern websites will just continue to get more bloated for every magpie developer who wants to thrust their version of "better" on everybody.
The US mainstream media is bought and paid for by corporations, who don't have the public good in mind, but maximizing profit at the expense of all else including reporting on corruption, oligarchy, and environmental abuse.
The government should not control the media, but neither should advertisers.
