The Biden administration has decided to focus its attention on addressing one of the biggest problems facing our country: broken McDonald’s ice cream machines.
For both loyal McDonald’s customers and social media users, it’s no secret that encountering an “out of order” ice cream machine has become a running joke and meme. It is not uncommon for customers to wait in the McDonald’s drive-thru for an ice cream cone, only to find that the location’s machine is broken.
This frustration stems largely from the fact that McDonald’s employs ice cream machines from a specific manufacturer that requires only their technicians to have authorization to perform repairs. Consequently, when a machine breaks down, locations are left grappling with long wait times as they are forced to be added to a lengthy repair queue.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have taken notice of this issue, recently penning a joint letter to the U.S. Copyright Office. In the letter, they advocate for commercial soft-serve machines to be exempt from existing right-to-repair laws that have allowed this process to remain in place.
