    I’m tired of hearing about fines, it’s clearly not enough. Start sending these people to prison.

    Penalties should be a lot worse than they are, but the requirement to open up availability of tools for 10 years is nice. And the number of about 50% for repair costs being reimbursed is striking, compared to what these kinds of settlements usually pay out. Which, of course, is depressing, in itself.

    That’s about 2% of John Deere’s total profit in 2025.
