It isn't about stoves, or refrigerators, or any appliance you can name. It's about the political class micromanaging our lives. And they are stepping all over our last nerve.
They promised a green transition will create a lot of new jobs. They neglected to mention most of those jobs are bureaucratic.
Or in chynaaaaa
No one is surprised to find out that MSNBC doesn't know what "liberty and laundry is (sic)."
My dishwasher takes 2 1/2 hours for a regular cycle. It's absolutely insane.
Why? You need to do two loads a day? I bet you just turn it on and walk away. That is time you can spend doing anything else. Who cares it takes a little longer if it is energy efficient and saves you money long term?
So then wash them yourself. it really sounds like a you problem.
@@bnobriga2 I agree with you to a point, but sometimes you want a dish that's stuck in there and it's annoying to have to wait.
I just wash as I use them. My wife thinks I'm old fashioned, but many dishes and cups come out of the washer dirty anyhow, requiring hand washing.
Mine takes an 1:45 minutes or 2 hours sometimes. I like the sound of it as I’m going to sleep and the sound of the dryer so I turn on my dishwasher to do my dishes at night and dry my clay night when I go to bed. And my dishwasher is so loud I can’t hear the tv with it. But in my bedroom the noise is muffled so it’s soothing swish, swish,swish sound.
"Most terrifying thing you can hear I'm from the government we're here to help" quote Ronald Reagan
It’s pretty clear and history has shown that when Ronald Reagan was trying to “help” he was doing the most harm.
Ironically That proves Ronald's point tho hahaha 😂

It is embarrassing that a member of the legislature goes on national TV that is broadcast around the world and says she doesn't even know what the legislation she is supposed to be voting on is. It doesn't matter if the bills seem insignificant to her, to tell the world she doesn't even know what they are indicates she is incompetent and our leaders are incompetent. She would comprehend that if she wasn't so damn incompetent? The interviewer as well. It is an embarrassment. Both are incompetent.
Remember the Speeaker saying they have to pass the legislation to see what's in it? Uggg they have one job and they can't even do it.
Welcome to American government in a nutshell.
One of the tricks that Speed Queen does to meet its environmental standards is to add a wash cycle called "Normal Eco" that meets epa rules for water and electricity usage but doesnt clean clothes at all.
I'm not fan of gas ranges. I have an induction range and will never go back. While I often recommend induction, there are reasons why it may not be a good fit. If you live in rural area, prone to power outages. Maybe an electric range is not a good fit. Also, if you have a pacemaker, it may not be a good thing to be close to an induction range. The problem is the central planning approach to things like this. We have people making laws that affect people in places they've never been to.
Very well put. I feel similarly with EVs. They are probably wonderful and great in major cities and urban areas. They just aren't at a useful level of development yet for those of us who live in rural areas. Blanket laws and regulations are just silly and not well thought through.
I love gas ranges, my current house has electric and I hate it, induction style still hate it. I agree, the problem is not that we have different opinions and wishes but that the government thinks it knows best and can/should dictate us into a single option.
Induction is shit and always will be. You have ZERO temperature control and they are FAR more dangerous.
It's worse. They make sure there's exemptions so they don't have to follow the same rules.
10 bucks says that neither of them do dishes. Even if I could afford a maid, it would still waste water and energy for them to wash the dishes before washing them in the dishwasher for over 2 hours.
I’m inclined to agree with you however not everyone likes hand washing.
I would suspect a properly engineered dishwasher would use LESS water and energy than hand washing (how often when hand washing will you leave the water running). But government regulation and mandates tend to get in the way of innovation and smart engineering, because the companies have to spend all their time and money just to comply with the regulations.
I have an old w/d. I have for the past decade or more been at clients home used their's. They suck period. They smell do a horrible job .
Yup. And old dryer, no idea age because it came with our last house. Incredibly simple to repair, my husband does it himself. Both work really well and pretty quickly. No plans to replace them any time soon.
The enviro movement is pretty much climate fascism
With millions of consumers turned into online reviewers I have never in my 65 years been able to make more informed decisions on both price and quality. The synergy between the market and social posting has created a golden age for deal hunters. Washington should stop trying to distract us from them failing at the jobs they were hired for.
Agreed, however companies like Amazon have learned how to hack reviews and ratings. As long as people stick with a system that doesn't reward people for a positive review or rating I'm with you.
@@jerrold3685
That's why you read a bunch of reviews, not just one or two. And you search out independent reviews on the Internet and UA-cam.
What's funny is, we used to use these washing machines for all kinds of things other than just doing household clothing. We use them to reduce how much paper towels that we're using by using cloth towels, or we're using cloth diapers, when you run it through these energy efficient cycles you end up having to run it through multiple times to get them clean. Recently I had to throw away a whole bunch of clothes because I couldn't get the whites white, I tried all kinds of phosphorus-free chemicals that I could add to the washing machine all I did was end up destroying the washing machine.
They have to reduce load on the grid with appliance regulations to accommodate their electric car agenda. They're going to change earth's climate by doing so.
So, the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act, or 'HOOHAA'. These guys . . .
Regulating water use by making washers and dishwashers more efficient is kind of pointless because the majority of water being used is for agricultural and industrial purposes, not residential.
Liberty and Natural Gas Stoves and Furnaces should also be a thing. Out here on the left coast, government is trying to outlaw natural gas appliances.
Not to mention, not that I want it, but a massive bureaucratic establishment can handle two things at once?
I live at the confluence of the two largest rivers in North America. We have abundant water and it's extremely affordable. I'd be interested to know how having to buy a low-flow showerhead, or toilet, or faucet, or dishwasher, or washing machine, or anything else, helps in any way the people who live in water-sparse regions like Arizona or Southern California. How does my saving any water at all increase their supply? On the contrary, it seems to make the people in my area just that much more miserable, needlessly, without benefit.
Climate Change is real! (I'm required to say that so this post shows up.) By putting all of these regulations on appliance manufacturers to make more "energy efficient" machines (though they become far, far less effecient at their intended tasks), by the year 2100, we will see a drop in temperature of up to 0.0000000000001 degrees from what it otherwise would have been without these myriad regulations. Clearly worth it! Our great grandchildren will thank us for our sacrifice.
Or not.
Almost every time we do anything for "efficacy." Thank about the governance they put on vehicles killed gas mileage which now they are trying to correct via more regulations
"oh zing!"
😂😂😂
Mr. Soave, you should have your dryer vent cleaned.
Good segment. I'm guessing that companies that make appliances support these new laws because it forces people to have to buy new appliances. Might be worth looking into campaign donations and lobbying. Same goes for EVs. I don't believe all of this is just about "the environment." It's always "follow the money" one way or the other.
It doesn’t force people to buy new appliances. It protects consumers ability to choose (avoiding gas stove bans). It also forces manufacturers to deal with the ever growing frequent recalls and repairs their appliances come with
Republicans in the bedroom? Democrats in the garage, the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry room, your yard, the basement, the attic...
I think an often overlooked point is that politicians are not doing these things to fix things they’re doing them to differentiate themselves as a brand/product. We are victims of marketing strategies.
Wait...what is a women?
The last time I checked, it's an adult human female.
What a surprise. Statists love everything the state does.
Yes, I always feel like I'm listening to an informed discussion when the person says "I have no idea what that is." Twice.
There is a lot of misunderstanding about Induction cook tops. They are not like the old electric coil or flat glass cook top from 20 years ago, they are significantly better and more efficient than gas but I still love my gas cook top. I'll go Induction next time around but you absolutely can not require such things.
Laundry detergents use much less volume and always cold water and generally use less water for a load, also many washing machines get more water out of the laundry before you dry them.
I am all for keeping the government from deciding what appliance I can have, but modern clothes washing is MUCH more efficient and better than it used to be.
Now I have no idea if the chemicals in the new soap is killing us or not :)
I can judge for myself if a washer, dryer, shower, or dishwasher is right for me, efficient or not.
@@jfangm Absolutely. I was pushing back on the idea that longer wash cycles and being pushed to use more cold water is actually not cleaning clothes as well in and of themselves.
I have no desire to let the government decide what light bulbs (and anything else) I'm allowed to use.
Anyone who actually decides to dig into the Origins of the Ukraine conflict, the further you actually dig into it, the more dirty it makes the United States look.
To play a bit of Devil's Advocate, the first water restrictions on appliances back in the 90s seem to actually get the industry to be more efficient to no real cost in quality, but that ship has sailed, any further restrictions since then has come with the cost of quality...
it's also ultimately anti-progessive, because the rich just pull strings to get commercial machines installed, instead of residential machines installed into their homes to avoid the restrictions.
Only if you have a house that creates a small hotel's worth of laundry. Otherwise, you do what I do: send it out to a service. Comes back clean _and_ folded.
It's not even that expensive. It's a luxury most middle class households could easily afford if it's something they want. I hate laundry, so it's happily one less thing for me to deal with.
Pretty sure their argument was that Ukraine trumps home appliances debate since Ukraine aid was was not delivered for several months when US projected itself as an ally ... EU countries have given a much larger proportion of their GDP as aid compared to the US, and France is talking 'when' not if troops will be deployed in the region... Let that sync in. I doubt people think that regulating home appliances is not important, I think the shady take you're having on this topic is just plain inefficient, ignorant towards the foreign policies and shows how the US won't stand by 'allies' a few years in war, or if congress decides to be a bit more corrupt that year. You guys are the same FOX, MSNBC, etc. but for a different group. Hope you wear that medal proudly.
We should never have promised all that Ukraine aid in the first place. The only reason we're so invested in Ukraine is because the Biden Family and their cronies have so much invested into Ukrainian companies and Ukrainian corruption. There was a chance early on to negotiate a settlement which would have saved widespread destruction and death, but that would have hindered the Biden's free flow of money.
Putin is far from a saint, but Zelensky is far from sainthood as well. I'd agree that punishing an aggressor that invades their neighbouring country is laudable, but this has been ineffective in achieving that goal, and only serves to funnel money into a handful of American and Ukrainian pockets.
Baby murder is exactly the same as regulating appliances. Cmon man.
we truly live in a kafka world
I used to live in Indiana and very few apartments or houses have dishwashers and we were too poor to afford the washing machine and dryers, although some apartments we lived in didn’t even have that. We didn’t have a car, so what we did was we washed our laundry in the bathtub. And I didn’t want dry the laundry outside because birds can poop on it and things like that. so we did small amounts of laundry each day and dried some in the bathroom and some in the bedroom. it takes an enormous amount of time for clothes to dry like that and jeans it takes 2 to 3 days. so you learn to spot clean your clothes if you just have one spot or two or three. And you mostly do underwear each day. And you rotate your clothes and make sure that you have deodorant and that you take a bath quite frequently such as every day or twice a day. I don’t know how people deal with drying their clothes outside all the time though I’ve done that. In the winter time it’s impossible to dry them outside because if it’s cold and dry you clothes are gonna freeze or just be cold but it’s gonna take them a very long time to dry. I’m no longer living there, and I completely agree, hands off of my appliances. I’m all for having more energy efficient appliances, but energy efficiency doesn’t work if I have to use my appliance 2 to 3 times as often to do the same job.
"This is the city..." Hate Federal mandates but looking at those shots of Los Angles in the beginning of the 1960's era Dragnet TV show and comparing them to the air there today reminds me that "nice is nice". Keep pushing back but we want to address some things and blanket government solutions are so seductive in their apparent effectiveness.
The thing that bothers me is that dishwashers, which hardly use any water, are incredibly water efficient because of federal governmental regulations. OTOH, lawns, which use lots of water, are mandated by HOAs, which because of town planning commissions are instituted as this un-holy combination of another level of government and legally enforceable restrictions on land ownership.
This is right, but to expand on the appliances. Dishwashers are already more efficient than handwashing, so I don't get the need for stricter regulations.
For washers, the issue is those tiny ones. I had one that I got, and it sucked. I learned how to use it and didn't overload it. When it works properly, clothes feel damp because of the moisture in the dryer, but they aren't actually. It's just the air, but it still had issues drying in one cycle.
The efficient clothes washer dryer combo I replaced it with is amazing, I'll never go back, but it's because I made sure to buy a large one, not a tiny one. Do loads overnight and never need to remember to swap loads.
Can't speak about other appliances.
This is basically NPR, but cooler. I like the cool jazz intro.
How to use language dishonestly.
What about the health outcomes caused by the negative effects of increased emissions? Are we going to any kind of cost-benefit analysis here?
No? Okay.
The "if people want to buy more energy friendly appliances, they can do so" argument ignores that the consumer does not internalize the majority of the negative effects.
"You cannot tell me that's more energy efficient if it takes longer." How do you know? Have you looked into it at all, or just assumed that because it uses more time.
2 hours for a load only do 2 loads a week
M- malicious

Man guess I’m not a fan of Robbie… bring back Nick!
Sounds like your washer and dryer are complete garbage because no new appliances are how either of explained. Sounds like user error
She’s not bad but when’s Robby gonna get paired up with a good match?
Ugh Robbie I don’t know how you go from here to having to deal with Brianna everyday. She’s completely unreasonable,illogical, and really shouldn’t have that spot because she doesn’t represent a majority of people’s views.
THIS CHANNEL HAS ALMOST A MILLION SUBS BUT ONLY HAS ONE VIDEO IN THE LAST MONTH ABOVE 100K VIEWS. HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM?
START MAKING CONTENT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO WATCH!!!
I didn't realize that was Robby until he started taking
Sound like you need to get your dryer vent cleaned out. Just sayin
Yes, the ukranian war is more important than these things
Since these people oppose liberals, they MUST be n@zis!
You are so biased, women absolutely have died due to not being able to get the care they need. The maternal mortality rate (especially in rural southern areas) is abysmal in this country.
As far as your "complaints" about better technology. Yeah we don't use kerosene lamps anymore, and I think that is pretty sweet actually. Technology changes and things get more efficient, or less harmful, and that is better for everyone if we keep up with tech.
Then the solution is already there without any legislation lol. People will naturally flock more efficient things because it is naturally cheaper. So why force anyone to switch if it's already not a problem because within only a few decades there would be no such thing as gas stoves. So why stop the people who do want those things, it's a minority and insignificant portion of people. It's like banning vinyl because we have more efficient things now such as Spotify. It's just a small group of enthusiasts that like the outdated and outmatched stuff. Why not just let the men keep his thing that he bought and that he likes very much.
The US is estimated to have lost over 800 million cumulative IQ points due to the use of leaded gasoline. Not to mention all the other health concerns around lead being ariolized. The US didn't stop using lead in gas because of that though, they stopped because cataclytic converters became required, and it damaged those. People noticed the effect when they had to replace those more often and it hit their wallet, they didn't notice all the health effects because those, typically, take a while to show up.
All this to say, sometimes it is actually really great that folks make rules saying poeple can't continue to use things that harm others. You using more water than you need to, harms folks. You using a gas stove contributes to polution, causing more asthma and other health effects than there otherwise would be.
Literally everything you said is 100% wrong and not supported by actual facts. Literally nobody has died from not having an abortion. Maternal mortality is a complex issue resulting from a multitude of underlying (often pre-existing) conditions. Just because tech improves, and things get more efficient does not mean it gets less harmful or better for everyone. Fascists like you need to mind their own business and let me buy what I want.
NEW tech can often (but not always) be an improvement in our lives. *MANDATED* tech on the other hand, not so much.
@bnobriga2
It is NEVER great for ANYONE to tell someone else what they can and cannot do or use. Me using more water than I need harms no one and gas stoves ars literally harmless. There is ZERO credible evidence that gas stoves cause ANY health problems. Only fascist busybodies believe that nonsense and they are to be ignored in ALL cases, regardless of what they say.
gas stoves and heating are bad for your health and the environment AND are more expensive to run.. so those are the things that actually make life miserable. If you really want a gas stove, just get a portable one for when you really need it... most lf the time electric is fine
Except literally none of that is true. Gas stoves and heating are LESS expensive to operate, more efficient, healthier, and make life BETTER. ANYONE who uses electric is inherently more miserable than gas users. That is an objective, proven fact.
screw msnbc, screw manufacturers and their cheap planned obsolescence bs, and screw electric cars while im here!
