MSNBC mocks Americans for saying HANDS OFF our washing machines | Free Media 

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.

My dishwasher takes 2 1/2 hours for a regular cycle. It's absolutely insane.

No one is surprised to find out that MSNBC doesn't know what "liberty and laundry is (sic)."

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.

So, the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act, or 'HOOHAA'. These guys . . .

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.

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.

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 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 .

The enviro movement is pretty much climate fascism

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not to mention, not that I want it, but a massive bureaucratic establishment can handle two things at once?

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!" 😂😂😂

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.

Yes, I always feel like I'm listening to an informed discussion when the person says "I have no idea what that is." Twice.

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.

Republicans in the bedroom? Democrats in the garage, the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry room, your yard, the basement, the attic...

Baby murder is exactly the same as regulating appliances. Cmon man.

Wait...what is a women?

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 basically NPR, but cooler. I like the cool jazz intro.

we truly live in a kafka world

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 :)

What a surprise. Statists love everything the state does.

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.

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.

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 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.

2 hours for a load only do 2 loads a week

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.

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.

M- malicious S- slanderous N- neurotic B- biased C= cvntz

Sounds like your washer and dryer are complete garbage because no new appliances are how either of explained. Sounds like user error

Man guess I’m not a fan of Robbie… bring back Nick!

She’s not bad but when’s Robby gonna get paired up with a good match?

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!!!

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.

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.

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

screw msnbc, screw manufacturers and their cheap planned obsolescence bs, and screw electric cars while im here!
