Thanks Biden.

If Republicans win the White House, they will install another pro-business, anti-consumer head of the EPA (and other agencies, of course) which will undo any Right-2-Repair progress we have made in recent years.

That's why it's so vital that important decisions such as this are enshrined into law, anything short of that is unfortunately just a band-aid solution. As we've seen with the supreme court, even a long term band-aid solution is still just a band-aid solution.

Exactly. Bandaids are meant to be removed once the underlying issue is fixed.
