In a world where big corporations like John Deere, Apple, Amazon, and major automakers have the power to dictate how we maintain and repair the products we own, consumers and local mechanics are left at a severe disadvantage. John Deere’s practice of restricting American farmers from fixing their own tractors alone is costing the agricultural industry a staggering $4.2 billion a year. This is not just a problem for farmers—it’s a widespread issue affecting anyone who owns a piece of technology or machinery. The "right to repair" is not just about fixing broken things; it’s about reclaiming control over the products we pay for and empowering consumers, workers, and small businesses to thrive without being beholden to corporate monopolies.
