This (fixing/maintaining your own equipment) goes back farmers. And it should be a basic right for anything a person buys.

It's pretty simple If a farmer buys a piece of equipment, they should be afforded the ability to fix it But manufacturers lock the software-preventing farmers from making their own repairs Democrat @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social will change that when he's in the US Senate Iowa is about to change

Good to see Democrats being strategic by withdrawing and supporting independents running for Senate in three deep red states where a Democrat couldn’t win. Utah in 2022 and Nebraska in 2024 saw independents massively overperform the Democratic ticket, and Nebraska is a very real possibility in 2026

Right?? Voluntarily releasing 300+ accounts which equates to A LOT of business for a bank is a BIG deal.

I’ve done anti-money laundering education at both US-based & Europe-based banks. Leads me to believe Capital One never wld have done this unless data was indisputable. Think about this: Banking officers on these accounts make their living from activity. They want the business! It has to be egregious
