I think I would do a great job as an anti-repair lobbyist and I think it would be GREAT fun. I swear to God, sometimes I want to publish videos that say "here is how I would answer this question, and respond to the Senators with a genuine answer from the opposite side." I do this with friends every now and then and it is really fun, but then also it becomes sad, because you realize that people who have been doing this for 30 to 40 years are still so garbage at a junior high school level of debating and public speaking. I could argue against this bill while citing patriotic tropes in a genuine and authentic manner. I can come off as authentic, without reading from a script, while arguing against it. Sometimes it really is tempting for me to publish videos that say this is what I would say if I was an anti repair lobbyist. But, I do fear that at some point one of these dodo birds might actually see my video and use it to reproduce what I said effectively, so I don't do this in public. The last thing I want to do is show up to debate myself. :-) You can't effectively argue what you believe in if you can't flip a coin and argue the other side as well.

Due to the different casing, a car battery is harder to inadvertently damage and cause to fail; the bigger risk is dropping it on your toe, while an untrained person can easily puncture a pouch type lithium battery (like those typically used in consumer electronics) causing a fire. Of course none of this is to say people shouldn't be able to repair stuff, just that there is legitimately more risk involved in handling lithium batteries. I use them all the time for RC aircraft (pouch types taped together and wrapped with heat shrink), and there's way more risk of puncturing one in a crash than while replacing an iPhone screen.

Yes indeed. That’s what happens. That’s who we’re dealing with. Fortunately they are not arguing their side well. A compelling case certainly can be made for not only anti-right to repair but anti-repair in general. They’re just clearly not motivated enough to actually argue. They’re being paid to sit, read off a paper, and be a human stalling tactic so that as much profit can be milked as possible before regulation inevitably takes place. By that point manufacturers will have moved on to their contingency plans or had their alternatives to right to repair pushed by legislators who are friendly to them. That doesn’t mean that pushing for this legislation is a lost cause. It just means that we always need to remember that we are the underdog and this is an uphill battle. Even with Louis on our side ;D
