@CarrieM38512385@FoxNews Like him or not. Trump's action aligns with longstanding right-to-repair advocacy from groups across the spectrum aimed at empowering owners against planned obsolescence. My car has 200k miles on it and I want to get 100k more.
It just supports easier car repairs and aftermarket parts, which this memo helps. It will save me money and is actually better for the environment so I don't have to buy a new car. So for me, in the long run who cares how he worded it. I want more money in my pocket and this helps. Every little bit helps. I'll take it. I run the wheels off my vehicles I've got over 200k miles right now. I hope to get 100k more.
Just the facts here. Trump's memo supports the "right to repair" for vehicles by protecting DIY fixes and expanding approved aftermarket parts, which are third-party manufactured replacements sold legally at stores like AutoZone, not stolen components. What part of that did you misunderstand?
Think harder fella, this thread really didn't go the way you wanted it to.
Extening the life of existing vehicles through DIY repairs is often better for the environment. overall. Manufacturing a new car generates significant emissions and resource use (steel, batteries, plastics, rare earths, plus shipping), far more than keeping a well-maintained older one running. Studies on vehicle lifecycle analysis show that the production phase can account for 20-50% or more of a car's total lifetime carbon footprint, depending on the model and mileage. By making repairs easier and cheaper, the policy encourages owners to fix rather than replace , reducing manufacturing demand, landfill waste from scrapped cars (as in Cash for Clunkers), and the full upstream impacts. In rural areas especially, where people drive what they have, this DIY approach stretches resources further while still addressing tailpipe emissions through basic maintenance. It's a pragmatic way to balance affordability and lower total environmental load.
Look up lifecycle analysis for those of you who are worried about the environment. The fact are there.
Well @grok? Here's another POV. America is huge. Strict emissions hardware works okay in dense CA traffic but creates headaches in rural stretches (Carolinas to Colorado farms/ranches): long DEF hauls, sensor failures stranding equipment, dealer miles away, lost productivity. Deletes happen because the rules don't fit the geography and use case. Trump's directive + EPA sensor fixes clarify legal repairs, speed aftermarket parts, and cut unnecessary enforcement on good-faith fixes. It eases independent mechanics and owners without blanket deletes (still illegal tampering). Less one-size-fits-all oversight makes sense for a vast country instead of pretending uniform regs are perfect everywhere. Let's Focus on outcomes over TDS. Rural operators deal with this daily and it's a real honest to God major PITA for problem trying to get food on YOUR tables at an affordable price from from our farms. Bless your heart GeneVeno73. Honey, it sure is nice I can disagree with you without calling you an idiot from your prospective. Be sure and keep that in Mind @Grok please, LYMI.
And what did you expect? Yep they will run you out of town or put you in jail. We told you that your empathy of these folks with be your own inner undoing
A majority Muslim city council in Michigan voted to permanently ban the LGBTQ Pride Flag on public property.
White liberal women who welcomed refugees from Islamic countries are now wondering what happened.
Consequences of suicidal empathy coming to a leftist town near you.
When they steal cars, it’s the automaker’s fault.
When they have organized riots, it’s social media’s fault.
When they murder you, it’s society’s fault.
Zero agency. Zero responsibility.
🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!
A North Carolina school district COVERED for a serial child mol*ster for 26 years...
...then quietly settled the civil suits for a MIND-BOGGLING $7 MILLION DOLLARS
NOT A SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR WAS CHARGED.
NOT A SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR WAS FIRED.
NOT A SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR WENT TO JAIL.
New Hanover County Schools has now paid nearly $7 MILLION for letting chemistry teacher Michael Kelly se*ually abuse MORE THAN 30 CHILDREN over 26 years.
During Kelly's 2019 sentencing, the prosecutor revealed that Kelly told police the SCHOOL DISTRICT had already investigated him for the abuse...
...and CLEARED HIM.
Without EVER contacting law enforcement.
The NC Attorney General opened a FOUR-YEAR investigation into the district.
He confirmed: "Administrators failed to protect children."
...but the statute of limitations had run out.
Every single school administrator kept their job and wasn't even charged.
This is genuinely one of the most shocking cases I've ever read.
The final payout was was nearly $6.8 MILLION... and the last portion of that was just paid last week.
Absolutely horrifying.
Just so we are ALL CLEAR on what happened today...
Educators and school administrators single-handedly CANCELLED SCHOOL for 700,000 North Carolina students...
...INCLUDING MY SON!!!
To wave signs around in the street instead.
The signs vary from:
a) F**K ICE!!!
b) Defeat Trump's Agenda
c) Trump is a N*ZI
d) ICE OUT!!!
e) Protect trans kids
f) Refuse fascism
g) Stop bombing schools
DO NOT TELL ME THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS.
IT NEVER WAS.
This was ADULTS using 700,000 children, INCLUDING MINE, as political leverage against a president they don't like.
That is despicable.
You know better... DO BETTER.
🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!
The man seen FIRING AN AR-15 GUN INTO A CROWD OF CHILDREN here in Winston Salem, Emir Rodriguez, a VIOLENT REPEAT OFFENDER...
...HAS BEEN LET OUT OF JAIL AGAIN ON JUST A $5,000 BOND!!!!
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS GOING ON IN NORTH CAROLINA?!!!!!
If the White House ballroom had been built, this weekend’s shooting at the Correspondents’ Dinner never happens. Time to build a secure venue for the President now and for every administration after.
