John Deere brags about sabotaging competitors & customers on hot mic - they're PROUD of it!

Not necessarily. A bunch of us could band together and fund a bunch of folks who are good at building shit and just commission them to design and build new tractors that are easily repairable -- preferably electric too -- and then sell them. And this effort could be incorporated as a non-profit, which itself legally can own businesses and those businesses could sell them at a profit, and kill off John Deere's shitty-ass company and any other shitbirds that want to take away consumers' rights to own their own products.
