How John Deere Robs Farmers of $4 Billion a Year - More Perfect Union

John Deere is costing American farmers $4.2 billion a year by restricting them from fixing their own tractors. Apple, Amazon and major automakers use the same strategies on everything you own. It's bad for consumers and local mechanics, but excellent for corporate profits.

They decided I had retired in June after 21 years. Fortunately I got another local engineering job in August. My two daughters and son in law still work for Deere though.

This is extremely informative !!!!

It is well worth 20 minutes of your time.

It is sickening how corporations are fucking us over.

This isn't just about John Deere tractors.

It is about ' Right to Repair'.

Phones, cars, wheelchairs, tractors, etc.

Thanks for posting this video !!!
