Corporate Socialism has to be killed with prejudice.

Despite Whirlpool’s arguments being the corporate equivalent of a child who wants dessert but not to clean his room, the ITC sided with Whirlpool and is now considering which “remedies” to impose. Whirlpool, for its part, suggests a prohibitively high 50 percent tariff on washing machine imports from LG and Samsung.
Implementing this tariff, even in a temporary manner, would harm opportunities for thousands of American workers. Samsung is already in the process of building a washing machine factory in South Carolina, expected to employ nearly 1,000 American workers. LG is constructing a factory in Clarksville, Tennessee, which would employ 600 workers, and has plans to develop in New Jersey and Michigan. The ITC is threatening these jobs in the name of protecting an anticompetitive business.
The economic harm would extend beyond the workers expected to be hired by LG and Samsung. Washing machines are a staple of nearly all American households, but they are not cheap. Restricting competition by forcing major players out of the U.S. market would drive washing machine prices up for individuals and families around the country.

I’ll try that. Thanks.
I add more water to the wash load. The EPA forced manufacturers to diminish water usage. So the tubs don’t fill up and It is amazing how much cleaner my laundry is with four more gallons.”””
A friend of mine got suckered into buying a ‘low water usage’ machine & she is really pissed with it.
She is using the correct ‘expensive’ soap, and even running the clothes thru 2 times, but still they are NOT clean & dark items have soap on them.
This is one EPA rule that Trump needs to kill.
I also put in more soap than the manufacturers recommendation. I am not looking for suds but I am looking for a soapy feeling to the water. I use Arm and Hammer liquid these days.
Tell her to add water, there are several kinds of work arounds on youtube.
If Whirlpool is trying to get tariff, they should lower the prices...
I’m still using my Maytag washer from 30 years ago. I looked at the washers out there now and find them too big, too deep, and too expensive. I can’t reach down inside them like I can with my current washer, which I plan to run till it breaks for good.
Whirlpool isn’t the product America used to know, just do an internet search on their products. That being said, Samsung has their own issues with Washers, recently we were in the market for a washer and dryer so went to the local Sears outlet, almost every unit on the floor was a Samsung because no one wanted them.
