Every academic who has had a university president come in and say he's (and it's always a he) "gonna run the university like a business" knows it's a giant flashing red light. The government does stuff that doesn't turn a profit! That's why we need a government and not just the market!

Some of this is the libertarian shittening of sears/Kenmore. But the entry of all the South Korean brands is also part of this. Samsung etc washing machines are not mature.

"Sir. I will not start World War Three for you." British General Mike Jackson to US General Wes Clark, while refusing the order to storm the Russian-held Pristina Airport with British and Norwegian troops. June, 1999. RIP to one of our finest.

There’s no way to find the “right” one. My great-grandparents’ dishwasher was an off the shelf Sears-Kenmore daily driver bought in 1982 and it was still working in 2010 when my gran replaced it in a kitchen remodel. While I went through 2 Boschs in 15 years in our last house (and this Bosch is 8.)

I responded to a wapo reporter who was posting on this subject, he ignored me completely even though I was his first responder. But he totally interacted with a club member Chris Hayes. Sigh
