You're reading way too deep into this, good luck with all that.


No, I think you're reading too far into this and trying to present a nonsense scare-story to make this seem like a net-zero accomplishment.

Here's a question for you economics geniuses out there; if McDonalds wasn't interested in serving ice cream to customers then why did they buy machines for thousands of franchises to do that exact thing?

And even if you're correct - the secondhand customers of the machines McDonalds would sell would directly benefit from having parts made available. Selling their machines after the repair process is made cheap is an incoherent line of logic that only tracks if you want people to fear over-regulation.
