    Thanks Biden.

    If Republicans win the White House, they will install another pro-business, anti-consumer head of the EPA (and other agencies, of course) which will undo any Right-2-Repair progress we have made in recent years.

      That’s why it’s so vital that important decisions such as this are enshrined into law, anything short of that is unfortunately just a band-aid solution. As we’ve seen with the supreme court, even a long term band-aid solution is still just a band-aid solution.

        Exactly. Bandaids are meant to be removed once the underlying issue is fixed.

        What makes you think law matters? SCOTUS can gut whatever laws they want with their bullshit.
