U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) introduced the Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025, legislation that would require contractors to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with access to technical data and materials the military needs to repair and maintain its own equipment.

So the military has been bound by the same handcuffs that McDonalds is with it's ice cream machines?
It was messed up that McDonalds agreed to that. It's TERRIFYING that the group in charge of our military ever did.

Yeah its absolutely wild. Even Louis Rossman has done some videos about the military's lack of right to repair. Its insane to me that you'd buy a mulit-billion dollar jet like the F-35, and legally be unable to repair it without calling in (and paying a hefty service contract for) someone from Lockheed or Pratt and Whitney to troubleshoot it. That can't be sustainable if you do end up needing to send a ton of these things into combat

McDonalds made money from the deal. They were paid by Taylor to force their franchisees to use their ice cream machines with the extortionist service contract.

Not to mention the toxic incentives it creates when the vendor is the only one allowed to repair the thing they sold you. If they get a paycheck every time they repair the thing they build, then obviously they're gonna build that thing to break.

Service contracts are where the money is at!

Yes... It's funny because I worked on a platform called the MLRS. I saw what repairs to the circuitry of the GPS and other modules look like. I could have fixed it myself... by hand... The circuit boards were vietnam era looking stuff (the platform was from the 80's, but developed during the 70s)... Meaning the trace pitch was measured in mm. Like I could pop open shit and eyeball and solder that shit with crappy $10 bargain bin soldering iron. But nah, needed to get a special civilian to show up and replace the board (they didn't even try to fix it).

Unclear if you worked for the army, or for Mcdonalds. Either way you were probably paid about the same, and had to go to war every day.

This is for civilians, we're the ones paying the repair bills.

One of the videos in question has a direct call to action to support this bill

Mcdonalds 20% less morally compromising, much worse benefits.

Buy military surplus equipment, I guess?

When civilians want something, it's always "those poor corporations!"
At least with the bill focused on military you can put forward the importance of "combat readiness", "supporting the troops", "taxpayer dollars", and other things that politicians often say they care about.

The US military is not for national defense, it's a pay pig for a handful of corporations.

About the same amount of mcrib.

McDonald's was happy to do it because they're not really in the restaurant owning business. They force their franchisees to use the exact ice cream machine they get paid by Taylor to enforce. It's a literal racket
Now the military part... Yeah, that's fucked up, I always thought Uncle Sam got the right to repair their own shit but apparently not.
