How John Deere Robs Farmers Of $4 Billion A Year
John Deere is costing American farmers $4.2 billion a year by restricting them from fixing their own tractors. Apple, Amazon and major automakers use the same strategies on everything you own. It’s bad for consumers and local mechanics, but excellent for corporate profits.

Apple does this with their products. I wanted a new battery in my watch. They told me the crystal was too scratched and refused. You have to buy a new watch. Dirty business. Congress needs to stop this. It's criminal mob business.

Go back to your 1960s and 1970s cars and trucks and tractors. It doesn't have all those electronic chips and "install pollution control" garbage.

So if we just collectively said, im not buying any of that shit for 2 years. No new phones, gadgets or maschienery, how high are the odds that they will crawl back begging us to spend money on their products?

If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing, 😂
The East, the very east are always against this type of capitalism & colonialism. Communism might not be better but atleast they doesn't make slaves out of it's citizen.

I think the issue was much more complicated than this we the people are mostly at fault for wanting all these safety devices and electronic devices on our machines and equipment. The lobbyists are in the politician's pocketbooks they are not on your side they are on the side of making money. If you're going to have a business you always got to have backup equipment anyway a backup tractor a backup lawn mower or whatever you're in is your work. This is the globalist agenda not to be political but our world is run by just a handful of very very rich people. And they make their minions like politicians who do their bidding very rich

6:49 Arbitration Law skips the courtroom, and screws you out of due process. In fact, Arbitration law uses policy and legal agreement to trap you.

Supreme court has done it's best to reinforce the law. Now we need a congress to pass a new universal consumer protection bill. Problem is, when you build a society on money instead of morals, then those with the money will always be able to outbid the morally correct.

And you guys are fighting for dumb rights issue and other meaningless ones.. rather than looking at your own economic disasters that brought with maximum profiteering methodologies of corporates…
