Amen. Has anybody else been afflicted with a new “high efficiency” clothes washer? What a piece of crap these things are. They use almost no water and the almost don’t wash clothes. Their spin cycle is shorter so the clothes are wetter when they go into the dryer, so the dryer runs longer to achieve a n acceptable level of dryness.
Don’t even get me started on the phosphate-free crap that passes for clothes and dish detergent. . . .
Must. Be. Stopped.
True. I do think that these nuts want us dead - they hate human life. Good point.
Well if we’re ever going to reverse this garbage, the first step is to hold the bastards inflicting it on us personally responsible for their actions.
Bravo, Rand Paul.
Washing machines, laundry soap, thermostats, refrigeration, and dishwasher soap to name a few more.
We need the purple ink finger to prevent multi vote fraud!
“Speaking of toilets, the low flow toilets we have nowadays just don’t work as well as the old style ones.”
They also cause problems in city sewer lines.

Plus, they leave so much residue that more chemicals are used to keep it clean...so the water is more polluted.
When we run out of toilet paper and have toilets that don’t flush, we will have achieved communism.
“Ok, light bulbs, shower heads, toilets, what other normal innocent products have been deemed illegal by the people’s dictatorship in DC?”
Let’s not forget laundry soap and dish washing detergent. I had some hard deodorant stains in the armpits of my undershirts. No amount of pre-treating, scrubbing with a brush or even boiling them with detergent worked. Then, I found an old, old bottle of dishwasher soap. I spirited it on and they came out like new. I really hate having to use ineffective products because somebody else thinks it’s better for the environment.
I recall a college professor who cautioned us on how number lie. He quoted the flow of the Mississippi river. Then, with a few calculations he “proved” that all the water in the entire world flowed down the Mississippi river in a given x month period. He grinned, saying, “You realize this hogwash, right? But I just proved it to and you can’t refute it.” He then went on to show how he’d used the numbers to lie. I’m reminded of him every time the Left starts talking about toilet flushes or light bulbs. It’s all hogwash.
That one is going to need more than just a few flushes.
I had a bathroom redone a couple of years ago and got stuck with one of those 1 1/2 gallon low flush commodes. I bitched to the plumber and he said all this model needs to go 3 gallons is for you to hold the flush handle down instead of press and release. Holding the handle down holds the flap valve open until the tank completely drains.
It's really a tempest in a teapot for me as I'm on a well and mound system (septic tank) so how much water I use has no impact on anybody else.

If the Dems had their way, we’d all be digging the 2-holer in the backyard. They don’t require flushing.
