[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Please stop trying to spin Trump's idiotic comments about having to flush the toilet "10 or 15 times."[/quote]

Where was I trying to spin anything Trump said?

I understand that the top-of-the-line, $14,000 low flow toilet in your McMansion works great. Tell that to the family who lives month to month whose toilet breaks and are told they now have to purchase an expensive $1000 toilet that does not even flush properly, and does not even have the opportunity to go with the tried and true traditional option because some Whiney unelected bureaucrat has decided that some minuscule and vague, largely under-analyzed environmental impact that traditional design may have.

There is no place in a democracy for that crap. If these bureaucrats truly believe forcing everyone to buy expensive luxury products is justified by the environmental impacts, they can stand before Congress and convince them that this is justified despite the massive impact such a decision will have.[/quote]

What are you babbling about?

Here’s a low flow toilet for $99

I counted at least 15 low flow toilets under $200 (I stopped counting at 15)

The entire Chevron regime was decided by a Republican Supreme Court! Scalia loved Chevron because it took power out of the hands of liberal judges who were interpreting ambiguous statutes.[/quote]

And those low flow toilets are basically junk that can barely flush piss down, let alone a huge log, compared to traditional toilets that could flush anything you could fit in the bowl at half the price. Because it was tried and true technology, not over-engineered and under-designed crap.

I am a centrist, I don’t care whether conservatives or liberals liked a ruling, I like common sense and the constitution, both of which Chevron (and, I hate to say it, Roe v Wade) flew in stark opposition to. Period.[/quote]
