Empty words and platitudes. The Bill doesnt have any teeth. It doesnt cover electric cars, dosent cover farm equipment, and definately only goes into effect for products sold in 2023. So you still cant make apple sell you parts to fix your phone you bought this year.
They could have set the standard but instead literally virtue signalled and did nothing. But hey we did "something" that counts right? NO IT DOESNT. Is it a step in the right direction sure, but its not even a babystep.
Where are the environmentalists, climate changers, green new dealers, right to repair is your greatest win for sustainability. Planned obsolescence and disposable economics are the the greatest problems. All those carbons created making electric cars when you could just sell refit kits updating your already good car. Whats wrong with your phone? Screen cracked, better get another 700 dollar phone. Tv broke? Take it to the tv repair guy and fix it for 50 bucks, nope buy another 500 dollar one. Oh and that guy went out of buisness 20 years ago when Amazon made sure the disposable economy was cemented into reality.
Its such shit. But hey go NY.. you did something....a 10th right..
