hey everybody how's it going so I always
thought of right to repair is not a
partisan movement I don't really think
of it as progressive or conservative I'm
pretty surprised when people will point
out that it is a progressive movement
and not a conservative one because most
of what it is I'm trying to do is
preserve what it was we had as a culture
50 to 70 years ago when even the
greediest of CEOs and company owners
would never try to make it so that your
device was not repairable they would
never try to hide diagrams from you they
would never try to make it so that you
couldn't buy a chip or a resistor or
whatever that went in to a device did
you own to try to fix it and even in the
1970s when you purchased computers they
used to come with all of these books
that said exactly how it was put
together now there's a some pushback
that I get sometimes from people who are
more conservative leaning politically so
I thought this would be a great
opportunity to have a discussion I had a
discussion with Luther Abel from
National Review and I got a say of all
the outlets I've spoken to they put in
more effort than any other outlet that
I've ever dealt with to make sure that
what it was they were publishing
represented what it is I actually
thought they didn't try to you know
purposely edit out little things so that
context was removed from the story they
really wanted to make sure that what
they published was actually what I said
and I really appreciate them giving me
the time to sit down do this interview
not do all the interrupting and I think
it may be worth reading if any of you
are interested or if you lean
conservative and are kind of curious why
it is that government should get
involved at all with regards to repair
and if you think that government should
not be involved with anything regarding
repair then you may want to read the
article and get an idea of where they're
involved right now that's it for today
and as always I hope you learned
something
