We'll have to see how the Right-to-repair order shakes out in the courts, because every tech giant and appliance manufacturer is going to challenge it. As for the rest, net neutrality is a red herring, and targeting price gouging from pharmaceutical companies after every government in the world has just given them trillions of dollars to pay for vaccines that kill more people than the virus they're supposed to prevent is at the very least darkly ironic.
If Net Neutrality is any guide, it'll be the same plastic-banana shit for Right to Repair. I expect huge exemption carveouts for Apple and other big tech brands, auto manufacturers, printers, game consoles. The only right to repair that will be protected will be the stuff that literally cannot be locked like lamps and furniture, or small companies that couldn't pay the Democrats enough in bribes.

I read the EO and most of looks promising, wtf? Is it possible he actually did something right?
