Really good to see Ursa Ag doing what they're doing. I wouldn't own anything I can't do my own maintenance on. I own a 2010 car and wouldn't want anything newer.
I saw the Ursa Ag story on the Wheel Front website. Great venture! I included the story in my podcast this morning. Glad to see other Substackers spreading the word on Ursa Ag, too 😎
Ursa Ag's approach is the right one. In Dec 2020, as the national COVID restrictions on restaurants were winding down, PA's then-Governor Wolfe issued a decree that all indoor dining in restaurants must cease...in DECEMBER through January 4. Outdoor dining and carry out was OK. It was stupid and would kill the restaurants. Some feisty restaurants got together and agreed to disobey. When we found out, we started dining out 4-5 times a week at those restaurants near us. When the government issued citations, some of the restauranteurs took them to court...and won. It felt great to "stick it to the man." Resist!!
YES! I am a dairy farmer, want to upgrade tractors, but the cost an complexity of new ones puts them out of reach for me, and I don't want to be a slave to the service technicians. The old John Deere 2020 and 4020 could be repaired by any semi skilled mechanic, and never had unexpected shutdowns. Early Fords were the same. Almost bullet proof and relatively easy and inexpensive to repair, oh, and lasted forever.
Yes, I'd be interested in an interview with Doug Wilson. The right-to-repair battle has been waging on for several years now. Louis Rossman talks about it a lot.
The idea of not supporting their own country is the result of a concerted effort by the Marxists. They are just reusing the same playbook, "The old system is bad and needs to be removed and what will be put it its place will fix all the inequalities, trust us." They have been working at it for generations now. They have made it the philosophy taught in schools. They have bought the votes of the "underclass" by applying the money that they take from everyone to get their support. All the while telling them that they are oppressed and making sure that they remain disadvantaged and disaffected.
The problem with companies like Ursa Ag is that they will eventually find a way to make them illegal. The usual way is through environmental, intellectual property, or safety rules that are written to favor the big companies that contribute heavily to election campaigns. That is what was done did with the other industries.
For many of us, having the "right to repair" will be a vital consideration for planning ahead for the inevitable collapse, as most all new vehicles are just moving computers. It was a relief to see that John Deere had lost the lawsuit regarding the right to repair. Most all appliances, a/c units, phones, etc are also too complex and are not designed to last very long. Seems that Doug Wilson was innovative in a way that solves an issue with technology's downside. Would be interesting to hear his views on where things are going Thanks for bringing this perspective
I love what Ursa Ag is creating " An OPTION " for growers. I'm sure Mr. Wilson would love an interview, give'em a call

Yes please. I think Mr Wilson would be an excellent, timely, guest.

OH, and this is the free market at it's best.

Absolutely an interview with Doug Wilson! When will that mentality arrive in the auto industry? (Rhetorical question)
As one who fought in one of this nation's wars... given the same decision now... I would say "NO!"

That's not a problem. That's just a different challenge to solve.

Ditto.
Love to see it and love to hear it. That is real innovation, simplicity.
