Fight to Repair • 118 implied HN points • 15 Dec 23
- The National Association of Manufacturers released a report against the right to repair but it recycled industry talking points and presented weak arguments.
- The report falsely claims that right to repair harms the environment, but in reality, creating and shipping replacement parts are more environmentally friendly than replacing entire devices.
- Different state right to repair laws can be burdensome, but they are a step towards a federal law that grants repair rights to all Americans, while still allowing for state-level legislation.
