shitshow is LIVE on CSpan re Federal Deregulation

Trump on why he worked to weaken efficiency standards for dishwashers and showers: "In many places, in most places of the country, water is not a problem. They don't know what to do with it. It's called 'rain.'"

Trump, in this speech on deregulation, is telling his story about how "you didn't have any water" in energy efficient dishwashers, so "the people that do the dishes" had to run them multiple times.

These words are the rambling of a man who has disconnected from reality.

Trump on why he fought to weaken efficiency standards for light bulbs: Incandescent bulbs "look better, they make you look so much better. That's important to all of us." (Near-silence from the audience.)

"People that haven't cried since they were a baby. Some of them never even when they were a baby, and they were crying"

Efficient dishwashers do more with less water. they increase the pressure and the filtration helps to keep deposits from forming. Trump just talks out of his ass, which is hard to differentiate from his face.

when Big Business could compete to sell the most of the cheapest-made, worst-quality products in their categories. As top name brands, no less.

Younger DUers missed the era of having the same 3, sometimes 4, name-brand products sold at every store in the region, then finally, as Amazon came along, learn from other purchasers that many of them, not just yours, couldn't toast a simple slice of bread properly before finishing breaking down.

Those were soon all gone. Information and on-line shopping was a revolution.

Trump, denouncing an Obama-era rule meant to combat racial segregation in housing, says, "The suburb destruction will end with us."
Trump, again speaking in barely veiled racial code, again ridiculously accuses Democrats of trying to "abolish our beautiful and successful suburbs." He says, "Your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise."

and so has zero idea how they actually work.

Unfortunately a lot of other people also don't know. They use a great deal less water than normal hand-washing. Plus, if you have them dry on a heat cycle, they more or less sterilize the dishes. Tends to keep various illnesses from spreading quite as much within a family.

My sister never used the dishwasher that came with her house. Her three kids constantly had something or another. I always used mine. My two were very rarely sick. Sure, that's just an anecdote and too small a sample to be meaningful, but still.
