Both of those are assault ovens to Trumka, Jr.

Good move. I’ve read they’re restricting production and prices will skyrocket.

I’ve got R-11 and R-22 on the shelf also. Some of the cans are getting rusty LOL.

Just remember that drinking water and wearing shoes are “linked to” childhood asthma also.

And reduced water washers.,/p>

I don’t think it occurred to a one of them that people would just do more, smaller loads. Nobody is going to do laundry to have it not some out clean.

Which is why we just bought a Speed Queen commercial washer. You can fill that baby full of water almost to the top of the tub. Simple dials, just like washing machines made decades ago.

It started with Daylight Savings time in the ‘60s.

I haven’t slept right since!

And those stupid lightbulbs they forced us to buy don’t last like they promised!
I just take the old ones back to Lowes or Walmart and drop them in their carts. Let them dispose of that crap!

It’s because it’s black, isn’t it?

Back in the 60s in Michigan, you could turn in your burned out light bulbs and get free replacements at the utility office.

Then they took the lead out of gasoline. Destroyed heads in millions of ‘50s and ‘60s cars and trucks forcing people to buy little plastic bubble cars that they couldn’t afford.

But the too-big-to-fail-government-backed car companies gladly financed them with loans that outlived the cars.

Don’t forget they took your great 3-5 gal porcelain throne & forced you to use the minimal 1.6 gal (multi flush) toilet to save water

We have one of those too and love it.

And we live in an area that has plenty of water and have a well that did just fine during a recent dry spell that gave others problems with theirs.

Don’t forget the laundry and dishwashing detergent. Or the A/C coolants.

And now they're forcing 15% ethanol on us which will absolutely destroy the small, gas-powered engines we use in lawn equipment.

"Just buy an electric mower!" They'll tell us.

It is a war on convenience perpetrated by a class of people who don't cook their own food, wash their own clothes, or mow their own lawns.

Best part of the story comes in older apartment bldgs, where the sewer stacks are a sanitary “cross” (90 degree connection) instead of the newer “y” (45 degree angle). Shoots the neighbors crap right into your bowl if you have a fancy 800 dollar Toto high velocity low flush model.

“That’s because the real reason for talking up a federal ban on gas stoves has nothing to do with health and safety. It has everything to do with the climate “crisis.””

Sadly, most conservatives are unable to process the above, and instead assume that ending gas stoves IS NOT part of a broader plan.

We need another revolutioin to throw this entire government out and start over with people who will promote freedom. (Unrealistic, I know.)

I’m pissed because they took away hot water rinses in washing machines, and some require cold water only for the wash and the rinse.

When I lived in LA, I would purchase great shower heads when I visited home in KC.
