Isn’t the aircraft itself a form of hard case?

Given that #PPD-21 defines agriculture as #CriticalInfrastucture,
And #JohnDeere has a history of delays at repair facilities during critical periods,
Shouldn’t this be a #NationalSecurity issue that requires #DHD and/or#CISA involvement rather than a #FarmBureau #MOU

John Deere relents, says farmers can fix their own tractors after all
After a lengthy argument, a right to repair comes to agricultural machinery.
Why is my paramedic friend only making 4.3xMWUs?!?!
This has the added benefit of making it ridiculously obvious how much we value those who volunteer to put their live on the line versus politicians.
“Military rank E-1’s annual salary is defined as 3,035xMWUs.”
Support the troops! Raise the minimum wage!
“Congress annual salary will be the equivalent of 24,000xMWUs.”
Now to raise their own pay,
Congress must increase the minimum wage as well.
