Related: About this forumtrump's FAILED Dishwasher Initiative is headed for the Rinse Cycle
Solving problems that never existed. This was just beyond Comical.
But almost no one was clamoring for the changes. Manufacturers did not support them. They said there was no need. Environmental groups called the new rules wasteful. Consumer groups said modern appliances already work pretty well.
On Tuesday, President Bidens Energy Department said it planned to reverse the Trump-era changes. The still-new rules for dishwashers, washing machines and clothes dryers would go back to what they were before Trump. It comes a couple weeks after the Energy Department said it was doing the same with shower heads.

who thinks everything worked better before he got old and things started to change.
No, Sunshine, the problem is getting old.
Shoot, I find myself falling into that trap of "why the hell does some idiot think this was an improvement? Nobody needs it and it just made things more complicated!"
Nah, it's me, not them.
