How lobbyists erase their own experiences in order to make false testimony. (recorded January 2020)

hey everybody how's it going my kitty jump right above my head as soon as I sat down edit cuz she loves me and she's so cute I missed you so much girl so today before I get started with the topic I wanted to discuss there's one point that I would like to make clear about these hearings that I go to and record every one of these hearings that I've been to whether it's Nebraska Boston Washington or Maine are open to the public these are not held behind closed doors nor are they confidential as long as you have a state ID and you are able to make it through security you are allowed to show up and listen at the hearing you don't even have to be a resident of that state you can be a resident from out of state so long as you can show up with an ID you're able to listen and often even apply to testify by just filling out a simple form in addition in the United States when it comes to lobbying there are lots of regulations that cover lobbyists you have to file and register as a lobbyist so that it's on file that you are a professional lobbyist further when I testify at these hearings you may notice that I start by saying my name is Luis rossmann I work for Rosman repair group I represent myself at these hearings it's typically protocol that you say your name the company you work for and who you represent everyone you here that shows up to one of these public hearings says their full name who they represent and what company they work for this is very important to ensure transparency I am not showing you anything that is not already public information and I encourage people to show up to these hearings so that they're able to testify any time in person or they're able to listen to the entire thing in case my stream goes down or I'm not able to make it to him that being said there was one lobbyist that showed up in Boston and another lobbyist that showed up in Washington that both worked for the same company and they appeared to be reading off of the exact same script saying that legislation is in search of a problem that does not exist this is legislation in search of a problem even after I said and there's two main pieces of criticism that I wanted to address while I was here today the first is that this bill is a solution in search of a problem that there isn't a problem in 2018 Apple released a different machine and it uses almost the same charging chip they changed one the address that it speaks to the rest of the computer on and I can't buy that [ __ ] what they told intersil the company that makes it only sell this chip to us so when I contact any electronics reseller they say I'm sorry we can't sell it to you this means that rather than paying me to fix the machine or anybody else your only option is to go to Apple and have this three or four thousand dollar device fixed by them for $1,500 further when they do that they erase all of your data and that's the only option so when people say that this bill is a solution in search of a problem I've had thousands of customers that want their data back that disagree because they seem to be incapable of coming up with their own thoughts on the fly that are not on the piece of paper they did not come with any of this they just read the exact same thing and I'm starting to understand why it is they think this bill as a solution in search of a problem because it seems like they're just totally fine with replacing their phone every time it breaks and I was able to figure this out from someone on reddit that Samantha Kersal lady lobbies for tech net because this one time she had to buy a whole new phone because her screen wouldn't turn on I said is there a way to get a snapshot of this it's gone he said I knew she might delete her tweet so I screenshot at it and I took a look at it and this here is hysterical so the lobbyist said I'm experiencing phone issues the phone is on but the screen is black I've tried everything it's time for and I'm guessing that that said something along the lines of it's time for a new phone and somebody is already trolling and saying if the right to repair bill is passed you would be able to get it fixed and this is I'll be honest this was hysterical to me I laughed ridiculously you know what what what if the problem is that there was a bad LED driver and the repair shop maybe they could have figured out it was a bad idea driver if they knew the model of the chip which they could have found the schematic if you know if the bill was passed huh this is this is this kind of stuff makes me laugh it's very interesting because someone can have but that this is you understand why it kind of bothers me when people say stuff like that if you are in a position in your life where oh oh my 400 to 600 dollar device broke I can just buy $1000 one who cares that doesn't mean that everybody is in your position and able to do the same thing nor does it mean that just because it's not a problem to you that it's not a problem to other people that's my thoughts on it I found this interesting and I think it's really cool the way that reddit seems to collectively work together to really go through every single part of the testimony and and bring things up like this because I would have never found that in a million years but they found it immediately and they thought it was funny and sewed it up so I thought I would share it with you that's it for today and as always I hope you learned something
