[Themaintainers] Fwd: Packed With Persistence - The Wall Street Journal.

>From the article...
“Repair is a radical act,” said Rose Marcario, Patagonia’s CEO. It’s also
becoming a political one. The European Union recently ratified “right to
repair” regulations, which in 2021 will require manufacturers to design
fixability into larger appliances and some electronics. In the U.S., the
Repair Association, which advocates for repair-friendly standards and
regulations, helped file legislation in 20 statehouses last year, with aims
to extend property rights of owners. "

Nice piece on good quality goods and repair.  Not sure if it is accessible
without subscription, but at least you know what to look for.  Thanks, Joe.
