[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cars these days are safer, faster, more comfortable, more fuel-efficient, and more reliable.

OP is a clown who should provide more intelligent analysis than just linking to an article on a "Trump rules Libtards drool" blog with a faux-reputable name like "Issues and Insights".[/quote]

Didn’t read the article and have no political angle, but household appliances now have about 1/2 the useful life of their predecessors. I have replaced several 20+ year old appliances whose replacements barely make it 10.[/quote]

That's not because of bureaucrats.  The opposite.  It's because of capitalists.[/quote]

Wrong.  It's because energy efficiency regulations make appliances increasingly expensive, complicated and fragile.  Capitalism works -- if it weren't illegal to make washing machines that actually work, someone would make them and clean up (literally).  Speed Queen was doing it for a while, but they have gotten caught by energy efficiency regulations, and now their new machines don't clean clothes any better  than the competition.  Bureaucrats push energy savings regulations that can "feasibly" be met, but they don't care if your clothes actually get clean, it takes hours to wash, or the machine works for more than 2 years.
