Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a solution to McDonald's ice cream machine problem.

Angry customers have flooded social media with posts about broken machines. McDonald's even jokes about it, but it is not a joke. It is a problem McDonald's refuses to fix.

The company limits franchise owners regarding who can repair their machines and denies them the right to find local repair workers to save them time and money.

Now, President Biden wants to give the American small business owners more repair freedom. It is called the right to repair, and it would loosen copyright laws to permit small business owners to repair their own machines.

If successful, the move would save customers and small business owners millions of dollars per year, and McDonald's customers could finally get their ice cream consistently again. It is another way President Biden is fighting for the American people and for the right to have ice cream.
