I keep seeing people say this, but they only have a 3 year warranty. Samsung, siemens, and random chinese companies I’ve never seen in the US offer 20 year, on much cheaper machines.

lemmitors: They hate Taiwan for their freedom!

Heat index of 107 and rainy today.

It really depends, Ive stayed at hostels where the machines run 3+x a day and sometimes some machines will be 5+ years old. There doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason as far as brand or usage pattern, though I’ve never seen an old combination unit.

Fuck in door ice makers. You’re adding complexity and making the whole thing less reliable and less efficient.

A good dryer senses the moisture and adjusts the heat so it dosnt shrink your clothes and you dont have to take them out damp and hang them anyway, throws in a few reverse spins so clothes dry more evenly, and some other stuff Im sure.

Bizarre. I wonder why they go all the way to the US instead of Vietnam or Taiwan.

If the people will not love her, they can fear her.

Holodomer

You are literally doing nazi propaganda right now.

Uyghur genocide

lmao I am in China right now, I was in Urumqi earlier. There’s no travel restrictions, literally anyone can go there.

problems have easy ideological solutions

Correct, because ideology guides actions. Decisions informed by liberalism tend to heighten the contradictions of capitalism; the working class get weaker, the bourgeois get more powerful, and the petite bourgeoisie get one, then the other, making them easily controlled by anyone who offers them a scapegoat that doesn’t question the system that privileged them.

Socialism is the only way to stop liberalism from proceeding to fascism. If the liberals had supported the socialists instead of demanding the socialists vote for them while they create the conditions for fascism to grow, and then hand power to the fascists, we could have strangled it in its crib.

It was as true in the 1920s and 30s as it is today. Hell we even saw the dems choose to fund ICE year after year, after they built the first set of cages, and right now, today, are choosing not to block its massive expansion.

And you have any faith at all that those same people have any interest in stopping fascism?

Median income isnt the whole story as rent, transportation, medical, and other costs have increased at a greater rate so people dont have the money to buy the 1500 dollar washing machine.

They have the filibuster. The thing they refused to get rid of to allow them to do good things.

This cost me 1.80USD. Turns out if the government works to keep food prices low and gets rent down to 300-400/mo in the middle of major cities, 1 person running a small busibess can feed a lot of people cheaply.

Wait it passed? The democrats didn’t do anything to stop fascism? Who could have seen this coming?

I mean it literally is in 99% of cases. Mayo got a bad rap for having too many calories and being associated with poor people so now they call same thing aioli.

If even half of them showed up for the dems, and the dems had +10 in the senate, they’d do nothing to help the people who elected them, give the Republicans half the discretionary budget in the name of bipartisanship, give the banks billions of dollars, and bomb a dozen middle eastern countries to prove they’re just as strong on foreign policy as Republicans. We know this because that is what happened. We need to focus on purging the party if we want our votes to matter in the general.

China, doesn’t particularly care about American industry lobbists

They do have some reach, Tesla is popular here because of tons of lobbying by Musk, though thats changing.

Most of the worlds hemp production, including for paper, is located in China, I dont know anything about the history or economics.

You’re just describing vampires/peter theil, except flesh now.

Weirdly enough, the washing machines I’ve seen here in China aren’t that cheap, like 800-1500 USD price range, and they tend to be much smaller than the US ones.

Reminder that Hitler lost the election. The liberals endorsed a conservative candidate in the name of unity, who won, and proceeded to staff the government with Nazis and made Hitler chancellor, in the name of unity.

The left, cursed with Casandra Syndrome, campaigned on “A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war.”

Because there is nothing new under the sun, you even had the liberals who announced their endorsement of Hindenburg immediately start attacking the left for not supporting their best shot at defeating Hitler..

In the end, many of them did end up supporting Hindenburg. But liberals will always see the left as a greater threat than fascists.
