    The state and local is where most of the progress is going to happen in the next 4 years. They control a lot more than you think - even including running elections for federal office. Pay attention to all your local elections - they are going to matter a lot

      Ballot measures. Write them if your state empowers them. That’s where the democracy will happen.

      My state is gerrymandered to death which is probably one reason the right wants to push everything to the states. Easier to divide and control.

    Until pedo-prez and nazi-musk determines that it’s hurtful to gafam.

    Sorry for becoming a cynical asshole, it’s actually a good news but I can’t help myself these days.

      Sorry for becoming a cynical asshole, it’s actually a good news but I can’t help myself these days.

      Hope you’ll take this criticism as honestly given, and not meant as an attack, but you’re not improving the quality of Lemmy with these kind of posts.

      May I suggest, instead of making a comment and apologizing for it in the same comment, you just don’t make the comment at all?

      It really sucks having to push through these type of comments.

        Yeah you’re probably right, I’ll try to shut to fuck up next time. It’s just that these asshole a ruining every god damn thing I believe in so I can’t help to think they’ll come for this too. Here I’m doing it again… I’ll go serve myself a huge glass of wine to celebrate, it’s almost 5 anyway.

        Judgemental idiot. Passing judgement on someone for their choice of words isn’t adding anything to Lemmy, maybe you should stfu instead of hanging on top of that high horse of thinking you have the right to judge whoever the fuck.

      Local and state officals can enforce laws on their own without federal involvement

        Assuming everything is doomed to fail is exactly what Trump and Musk want from you.

        You’re right, my bad.

    New Trending Term: “Died In Committee”

      A classic term for decades

    They’re good at introducing them, just not as good at passing them.

    There’s room for a lot of politics between introducing and passing a law.

    This is also nice because every state doesn’t have to pass this kind of law for it to help everyone else. Companies are often willing to have california specific models of their products to comply with California specific laws, but if enough states have right to repair laws it will hopefully be easier for companies to just have all their products be compliant.

      Or pretend to be compliant in the classic Apple way.

    Trump will ruin it with an executive order.

    A monumental win for repair warriors; corporate gatekeeping faces a well-deserved reckoning.

      Also great for the environment. Replacing a part is significantly better than the waste products and energy used in recycling facilities.

      Don’t do Trump’s work for him by spreading apathy and dispair. He wants us complacent and to forget the power we have. He is far weaker than he seems so he has to project absolute power. Don’t give anything to him for free

      More likely it will lose superpower status and just become a run-of-the-mill large size developed country like Britain or Germany.

      Living in a run-of-the-mill developed country isn’t actually bad - in fact the best places to live in the World in terms of median quality of life are all pretty run-of-the-mill places.
