Corporate lobbyists sure love bringing up racist concern trolling don't they?

Are you fucking kidding me. I don't even want to think about what mental gymnastics it took to come to that conclusion.

TERRORISM! Are you convinced now?

if a sophisticated medical device experiences the same type of error because a hospital chose unregulated repair options, it can be a matter of life or death.

This seems like an obvious concern, I'm not sure why the armchair philosopher is shitting their armchair over this.

Right, so legislate that critical equipment is required to use certified repairs. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezie. We don't require airplanes to be thrown away and repurchased every time maintenance is due, we require the maintenance to be certified.

I believe that is exactly what this article is recommending.

[–] Wilshire@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

He addressed that at 2:30 and 4:35. The lobbyist is purposefully misrepresenting the reality of third party repair services in the medical field. Restricting repair access puts more people's lives at risk.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

He said that immediately after noting they have no experience in medicine or medical devices.

I do and it is a genuine concern that the hospitals that are not funded well enough to make these repairs and will have the most pressure to do so.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not a valid concern, and even if it was, blocking right to repair laws does nothing to prevent it.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I didn't see that they were blocking right to repair laws.
