Like Dirty Clothes? Biden’s Got You Covered!
Have you ever watched an Antifa riot or passed a homeless encampment and thought to yourself, Those people have a unique sense of style, I’d really like to dress like them. Cruddy couture!
Well, you’re in luck.
If the Biden administration gets it way, we’ll all be sporting soiled clothes soon.
Perhaps you heard. Biden’s Energy Department - the same woke crowd that wanted to ban gas stoves - now wants to outlaw our washing machines and bring in low-flows. “Green” machines that use less energy.
Clothes don’t get clean but they use far less water and energy than traditional washers and are better for the environment! And we all know that climate is all that matters. Clean clothes are so bougie!
The Daily Mail reports:
Cycles would take longer, the detergent would be more expensive and clothing would be less clean, the manufacturers warned.
Machines could get more expensive too, with cheaper models pushed from the market...
When you're squeezing all you can out of efficiency in terms of electricity use and water ... you by definition either make the appliance worse or slower,' Travis Fisher, a senior research fellow at Heritage Foundation's Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment told the Free Beacon. 'Why are we so focused on the energy output, as opposed to if it's helping me wash my clothes?'
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers warned that the revised regulations 'would have a disproportionate, negative impact on low-income households' by eliminating cheaper models on the market.
If the new regs are approved it’s estimated that it will cost the appliance industry about $700 million to make the switch to these more expensive, less effective machines. Oh, and the poor would be priced out of the market.
Let them launder their clothes by hand in the river. That’ll teach ‘em.
Chances are none of the Energy Department’s Mensa members who cooked up this idiotic idea have ever done their own laundry. If they had they’d know that if clothes don’t get clean in one cycle, most of us will run them through again.
Much like the way we have to flush and flush to get anything other than tinkle down the low-flow toilets. And the way people have to take longer showers to rinse off from the dribbling low-flow shower nozzles.
In the end, these new efficient Green Machines will probably use more energy and more water than traditional washing machines.
You know, washers like the ones we have now. That actually do the job.
