Acting to please a constituency that prefers scarcity over abundance, Joe Biden ordered up a list of federal rules that restricted consumer choice. Given the exhaustive White House agenda that began when Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, it would have been unsurprising had he waited to unwind the Biden regulatory knot. But to his credit, Trump has been moving on that, too.
Ignoring the left’s constant “we’re running out of everything” screeching, Trump restored “shower freedom” earlier this month with an executive order “to end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure.” The new rule rescinds “the overly complicated federal rule that redefined ‘showerhead’ under Obama and Biden,” says the administration.
The previous rule, which burned through 13,000 words to define “showerhead,” restricted multi-nozzle showerheads to 2.5 gallons of water per minute. The new rule allows each nozzle in a showerhead to pump out 2.5 gallons of water per minute.
It’s the second time Trump changed the rule. The first time was in 2020. Of course Biden dropped that order after he took office and the government reverted to the Obama restrictions.
Trump’s change make sense.

It’s also a matter of liberty. The government has no business telling Americans what bathroom fixtures they cannot have and which ones they must have.
Trump is also restoring consumers’ freedom to buy the stoves, washing machines, furnaces, dishwashers and toilets they prefer rather than the ones imposed on them by leftist nabobs. The president also has an opportunity to stop Biden’s leftover regulations from deciding for us which light bulbs we can buy, forcing us to move on from bulbs that cost an average $2.98 to an estimated $5.68.

And bring back a gas can that doesn’t spill gas when you use it. One with about 50 less parts in the spout.
Amen to the gas cans !
You can buy “water” nozzles on Amazon that just happen to fit the thread pattern of gas cans. You can also buy vent plugs.
I might have them on all of my gas cans. But then, I might be using them for water storage in red cans.
Amen to that! Hubby spilled gas in our driveway (and maybe a few drops in the garage) the other day while refilling the lawn mower. What a mess that was, and it took forever to get rid of the smell.
Get the price of r22 freon back to reality. $700 a lb is b.s.
Agree

Bring back simple, basic, direct drive washing machines WITHOUT computer chips and computer controlled wash/rinse cycles.
They cost one half or one quarter of the over-priced, complex, computer controlled models rgey government forces us to buy today.
And they do a better job, are more reliable and cost less to repair.
KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid...
I remember a few years back when you couldn’t buy a toilet that flushes a terd reliably because of the EPAs 1 gallon per flush rule.
Unbelievable what’s happening.
Bureaucratic tyranny.
Madness, madness.
Bring back cheap affordable Freon!!!
Bureaucratic STUPIDITY......................
Bring back cheap affordable Freon!!!
I second that motion!
I’m amazed they never came up with a toilet paper dispenser that only allowed you to use three sheets per visit. Maybe next time they get in power they will.
They would be wiped out in the next election.............
