That Giant Flushing Sound
Unleash Prosperity ^ | 02/12/2025 | Stephen Moore

Posted on 02/16/2025 7:46:17 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Yes, that’s the sound of Trump directing the EPA and Department of Energy to reverse nearly every Biden regulation on home appliances and fixtures – everything from toilets to lawnmowers – in one big beautiful executive order that he signed on Day One, and reminded his EPA administrator yesterday to move quickly to implement:

Now you only have to flush once. Now you can take a real shower and not wait to trickle down.

No longer will the nanny state tell you what kind of car you can put in your garage. What kind of lawn mower, weed wacker, or sprinkler you can use on your lawn? What kind of lightbulb you can put in your lamps? What kind of stove or dishwasher you can use in your kitchen?

These were supposed to save energy and money, but instead they caused a consumer backlash.

Here’s our partial list of the appliances that will be liberated from regulations either finalized or proposed under Biden:

Free. Free at last!

Should already be covered by SCOTUS knocked-down of the Chevron Deference.

Just needed the POTUS kick in the butt.

Don’t forget the dorky gas cans (which you have to alter to get to work right).

The toilet laws were multi-decades debacle starting with the 3.5 gallon flushers and then the 1.6 gallon, all ordered and enforced before the manufacturers figured out how to make them work well.

Millions of toilets went to the landfills and billions run up in plumber calls and people were replacing 6 month old toilets after finding out about a different model that would work pretty well.

Guarantee that the toilets that our illustrious leaders use do not take four flushes.

I was told as a kid to always flush twice because it was a long way to Los Angeles.

Are the Democrats (aka Marxists) also responsible for the lousy new air freshener spray cans, that cause your bathroom and kitchen floors to be wet and slippery? Something about protecting the ozone or some such nonsense? The stuff immediately falls to the floor!
I wonder how many people have slipped and fallen as a result. I know I’ve come close.

There are a lot of toilets out there for years that work fine and most people, especially rich people, keep their toilets for many decades.

Cool. Those LED street lights only create alternating, dimly lighted and relatively dark areas on the street. Bring back incandescent and fluorescent lights!

We still have and use our harvest gold toilet, which we purposely did not replace. Original with the house, 1968.

As long as they have the parts toilets can be repaired and most toilets use standard parts, some of the really expensive and complicated toilets from the distant past became very expensive to repair, the American Standard Vent Away for example.
