I just heard about "Right to Repair" legislation. I emideatly got excited that it was the death knell for expensive cheesy plastic crap in attractive boxes. But after I looked into it I found that "right to repair" mostly involves iPhones, iPads and some tractors who's manufacturers only allow their own technicians to service the devices that they make. I don't think that the teenager at the store qualifies as a technician regardless of how smart his name tag says he is. So I'll have to wait for the day when consumers will no longer be so easily swayed by shiny packaging displayed before boobs, meaningless catchy slogans, the day the grifter companies starve.
I do not think that selling junk will ever be made illegal. but a legal precedent that requires manufacturing companies to provide a schematic, an electrical diagram, and replacement parts is a step in the right direction.
one thing that can be done we are doing here now, sharing actual data about our experiences with the products we buy. it's hard enough to resist the marketing empires aimed at our wallets, but we don't have to face them alone and uninformed.
I like the lee 4-20 pot. It's a runner. I have addressed some a occasional dribbles by cleaning the pot.
