The Feds Made Our Dishwashers Slower; Trump’s Making them Fast Again

Dishwashers used to be faster back in the 1970s and 1980s, frequently running a whole load at less than one hour.

Then, the government intervened.

A writer for the American Spectator, who also works at a Washington D.C. “think tank,” explains some of the heroic work the Trump administration is doing to get around some of the ridiculous regulations. 

“Then regulations began, demanding less water be used, then less and less. The regulation specifically included a clause saying no later administration could roll it back,” Jay D. Homnick 

explained.  “As the water allowance shrinks, the dishes take longer and longer — two to three hours on average today.”

But the Trump administration couldn’t just fix this, they had to figure out a way to maneuver around all of the regulations.

First they ascertained that there were none of the old, fast washers in stock at any of the American manufacturers. Since there weren’t, they could now be reinvented. So the rule, now being moved through the comment process, says as follows: a new category will be recognized, under the heading “Fast Dishwashers,” defined as machines capable of completing a washing cycle in under 60 minutes.

I don’t know about you, but these seems like a big improvement.

The new category of “Fast Dishwashers” will not be subject to the restrictions extant on the plain vanilla category of “Dishwashers,” thus allowing them to use sufficient water to complete the load in an hour or less. 

Smart!  How sad it is that we have to jump through these extraneous hoops just to clean a plate.

Thank you, Trump administration, for truly trying to drain the regulatory swamp.
