Here is how things work in the US. Sarcastic tone in my reply…
Round one: this is great
Hardware equipment for farmers (funded by John Deere and Caterpillar) lobbyists hard at work.
Round two: here is a water down version
Lobbyists “discover” that there is a risk of sudden death if a farmer accidentally connects two very potential wires… Lobbyists "do more highly paid” work with unions, OSHA, worker’s compensation insurance companies.
Round three: warranty denied, worker’s compensation denied if worker (the word farmer has been deleted) fix anything that presents a risk of electrocution, or could physically harm the worker or co-workers
Hardware??? Apple & Co. lobbyists jump into the action
Bill is killed. Not enough support at the Senate. The people have spoken.
