I really support this "right to repair".

France passed a law last year where manufacturers are required to label products with their expected lifespan, as to cut down on planned obsolescence, and to create more informed consumers. I thought that was a smart law.

That's an awesome law I can support. Good to know about.

I still wanna know why there aren't traffic light labels on our food. Red for junk, yellow for caution, and green for good. SUPERFUCKINGSIMPLE. I know why, but you know what I mean.

NICE! That's what I'm talking about! Even better than what I'd conceived.

We need it in Canada and they mosdef need it in the US - and the world for that matter.
