If it is the whole thing, it strikes me as strange that it belongs in an EO. It's vague on the right to repair, and seems like a policy directive that would have been carried out without watering it down in such a big document.
There's only one right, the right to own property. Everyone can fix (or break) their own property.
This is about whether the owner can (attempt to) fix his device (he always had it), but whether he has the right to try, fuck it up and then still hold the manufacturer accountable for warranty.
Clearly this cannot be, but now American socialists says it can. Nevertheless, someone has to pay for it. So, if you're a manufacturer, you simply raise prices for everyone to accommodate "repair socialism" or show the finger to Sleepy Joe and stop selling lower margin products.
EO is a big deal, hopefully it will be implemented as regulations that have some teeth, not like USB vs Apple in EU.
As a side not, I like that the fact sheet starts with "The economy is booming under President Biden’s leadership". Cmon man, you're merely 6 month behind the wheel, none of what's currently happening is your achievement (or fault).
