We are Screwed IF...

Good R&T column...covering dealership "service". Worth the read.

The Right to Repair is closely tied with the use of Free Software as well...

While that was an interesting anecdote about incompetent dealers, they barely mentioned the controversy around the "right to repair" initiative.

Fine...you can red about that in the link provided in the column. Here, I'll make it easier:

I'm already familiar with Right-to-Repair and have posted on the topic previously; what I'm saying is this particular piece of blogspamn is using that as a 'hook' to get you to read their story, while not offering any new info or insight. That's about as useful as having a headline "The Real Truth about Benghazi!" as a headline for an article about chocolate chip cookies.
