Asking for DUers opinion on "Right to Repair" Do you think it is an important issue?

38. products made and not quality

I agree. I purchased a few years ago, a Maytag stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer. All crapped out. My first Maytag washer lasted 15 years. My next purchases lasted less than 5. So, I just buy cheap appliances because it's not worth fixing them, although I did fix my stove when oven quit. I researched it on You tube, bought the part and the oven works better than before. My dryer stopped putting out heat, I then researched what the issue was, ordered the part on Amazon and my son fixed it. The problem is all these companies sent their mfg business to China or some other country and they just don't make quality products.

What really irks me is when companies move their mfg to other countries, they get to deduct the moving costs of relocating on their tax returns. It's like they're getting paid to fire Americans and move their business offshore. That needs to stop.
