[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m hoping we can get washing machines that wash clothes with water in under 2 hours, toilets that actually flush, dishwashers that take less than an hour and a half and gas water heaters. And also, versions of all those appliances that don’t break down and have to be replaced in 2.5 years.[/quote] where are you writing from? some lost tribe in the Amazon? rural Botswana? I have all those things, my water-saving toilets flush perfectly, all appliances are Star-rated and older than 2.5 and still going strong. [/quote] Not everyone is wealthy and can afford the most expensive appliances available with all the bells and whistles. Which is the point, decades of over regulation established under an unconstitutional system following Chevron where a small group of unelected wealthy bureaucrats made such features unattainable to the vast majority of people. Let’s use toilets as an example: Regulators required all toilets to be “green” low-flow toilets. High end toilets were already low-flow, so none of you had a problem in your mansion, but those were expensive, far more complicated toilets that were priced out of range of most typical consumers. Now that every house HAD to have low-flow toilets, this required companies to retool their market share to include low and medium end low-flow toilets. And because of the greater complexity of these toilets (when compared to standard toilets), they were now more expensive, and less functional, then previous budget toilets, all for a ‘benefit’ that was, while legitimate, highly marginal in nature.
