Court Blocks Biden Junta's Newest Crusade, Taking Away People's Washing Machines

You will be made to live like a Mennonite. Well, an unemployed Twitter activist transgender prostitute Mennonite.

The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals pushed back this week on a Biden administration effort to tighten regulations on dishwashers and washing machines.
In 2022, President Joe Biden issued an executive order on his first day in office that led to the Department of Energy replacing a less strict Trump-era rule on those appliances with a more stringent rule for energy and water use.
Critics lamented the much longer amount of time needed for cleaning under the Biden rule and said Americans were paying more for the appliances that left the clothes and dishes less clean.
"This decision allows manufacturers to build better dishwashers, not be encumbered by counterproductive federal regulations," said Devin Watkins, an attorney for the Competitive Enterprise, a group that helped lead the pushback on the Biden administration's new rule.
The critics filed suit against the Biden administration, and the court ruled in against the Biden administration, suggesting the DOE violated federal law with its effort and may not have legal standing to regulate the appliances nearly as much as the agency has claimed.
The court ruled that it "is unclear that DOE has statutory authority to regulate water use in dishwashers and clothes washers."
"But even if DOE has water-usage authority over the relevant appliances, the Department...failed to adequately consider the negative consequences of the Repeal Rule, including the substitution effects of energy-and-water-wasting rewashing, prewashing, and handwashing," the court ruled. "And in all events, the 2022 DOE...failed to adequately consider the impact of the energy conservation program on 'performance characteristics.'"

Fresh off of targeting Elon Musk, Biden's partisan thug at the SEC is now targeting Rumble.

I guess it's all just a coincidence that Biden's Handlers are constantly using government law enforcement power to harass and imprison Biden's political enemies, huh?

I sure hope a Republican doesn't get elected -- imagine, a Republican might use the power of the federal government to target leftwing journalists and other enemies. The horrors of such Bad Fascism (TM)!

President Joe Biden's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating video platform Rumble for undisclosed reasons, the agency confirmed to Wired on Monday.
The SEC's acknowledgment of the investigation to Wired comes after an April report by investment research firm Culper Research alleging that Rumble boosts measurements of its monthly active users (MAU) by 66% to 108%, which the company vehemently denies. Culper Research disclosed its "short" position on Rumble at the time of the report's release, indicating potential profit if Rumble's stock falls.

This observer says the short seller -- someone who bets on the price of a stock falling (and who will suffer major losses if the stock price rises) -- is making up a negative story and feeding it to the SEC, so that the SEC will then investigate the company -- and cause Rumble's stock price to fall, thereby making the short seller rich.

The playbook to try and destroy $RUM (Rumble)
A short seller creates a bogus report and sends it to the SEC. The SEC investigates the bogus report. Then the short seller talks to the media to get a story about how the SEC is investigating the report that started with him. The media happily writes the story.
The report is bogus, but that doesn’t matter—it’s all to get investors to sell the stock so the short seller profits.
Good news, it won’t work. We saw the attacks coming, and we prepared for them. Prior to going public, we chose to use Google Analytics to track and report our MAUs, so we could be ready for this very moment.
This is just the start, they’re coming for us in 2024. They can't stand Rumble's mission, but they are going to learn quickly how hard we punch back.

These are only the most recent cases of Biden's Handlers abusing "regulatory" power to punish disfavored speech, people, products, and companies.

The Fifth Circuit just rejected the FDA's galling "surprise switcheroo." The FDA announced very costly hurdles that vaping products would have to clear to gain FDA approval. Companies spent millions to clear these hurdles.

Then the FDA turned around and said,"Nah, we were just kidding, we're never going to approve any of your products and we just made you spend millions for no reason."

En Banc Fifth Circuit Rejects FDA's Vaping Regulation "Surprise Switcheroo"

Another significant court loss for the Food & Drug Administration's arbitrary approach to regulating vaping products.
Jonathan H. Adler | 1.3.2024 4:31 PM
Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued its long-awaited en banc decision in Wages and White Lion Investments, L.L.C. v. Food & Drug Administration, in which it considered a challenge to the FDA's denial of vaping product applications. By a vote of 10-6, the court handed the FDA a substantial loss, and deepened the circuit split over the FDA's handling of vaping product applications.

...
[S]itting en banc, the Fifth Circuit has again ruled against the FDA, taking the agency to task for its arbitrary treatment of Wages & White Lion's product applications and, by implication, those submitted by dozens of other manufacturers as well.
...
Judge Oldham's opinion begins:

Over several years, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") sent manufacturers of flavored e-cigarette products on a wild goose chase.
First, the agency gave manufacturers detailed instructions for what information federal regulators needed to approve e-cigarette products. Just as importantly, FDA gave manufacturers specific instructions on what regulators did not need. The agency said manufacturers' marketing plans would be "critical" to the success of their applications. And the agency promulgated hundreds of pages of guidance documents, hosted public meetings, and posted formal presentations to its website--all with the (false) promise that a flavored-product manufacturer could, at least in theory, satisfy FDA's instructions. The regulated manufacturers dutifully spent untold millions conforming their behavior and their applications to FDA's say-so.
Then, months after receiving hundreds of thousands of applications predicated on its instructions, FDA turned around, pretended it never gave anyone any instructions about anything, imposed new testing requirements without any notice, and denied all one million flavored e-cigarette applications for failing to predict the agency's volte face.
Worse, after telling manufacturers that their marketing plans were "critical" to their applications, FDA candidly admitted that it did not read a single word of the one million plans. Then FDA denied that its voluminous guidance documents and years-long instructional processes meant anything. Why? Because, the agency said, it always reserved the implied power to ignore every instruction it ever gave and to require the very studies it said could be omitted, along with the secret power to not even read the marketing plans it previously said were "critical."
...
FDA justifies its behavior with two principal arguments. First, FDA argues that its years' worth of regulatory guidance was not worth the paper it was printed on because it was hedged with cautious qualifiers and never guaranteed that any particular submission would be granted. Second, and most disturbingly, FDA argues that its capriciousness should be forgiven as harmless because the agency promises to deny petitioners' applications even if we remand to make the agency follow the law.
Today we reject both propositions. As the Supreme Court recently reminded us: "If men must turn square corners when they deal with the government, it cannot be too much to expect the government to turn square corners when it deals with them." Niz-Chavez v. Garland, 593 U.S. 155, 172 (2021). No principle is more important when considering how the unelected administrators of the Fourth Branch of Government treat the American people. And FDA's regulatory switcheroos in this case bear no resemblance to square corners.

The only square corners the fascist US government is turning are those needed to form the Nazi swastika.

Hey, Fifth Circuit.

These agencies are going to keep doing this.

Maybe the core of the problem isn't the regulations themselves but how the executive branch is effectively an independent branch of government unmoored from the will of the people?

Maybe start chipping away at that by limiting their power to make these rules at all without explicit permission from Congress?

Eat too many carnitas, and you're liable to blow out a diaper, buster brownpants. And you're gonna need to do some laundry, especially if you use cloth diapers. I never went for the newfangled disposable ones, no sir. Bad for the environment.

That's where the foreign policy chops matter, and Democrats listen when the people have spoken, and if you like your foreign laundry machine you can keep your foreign laundry machine. I love mine.

And it's going to be their undoing, and possibly the countries. The average person realizes that weaponizing the government against the people is tyranny. A tyranny they will exercise at will against you when the time comes. Americans have become second class citizens in their own country under Democrats rule. Those who oppose them get thrown in jail or lose their livelihood. Illegal immigrants and their children steal services paid for by taxpayers. People's financial futures have never been so uncertain. The education system is in shambles and crime has taken over entire cities. There is an active effort to ignore the Supreme Court and take away your Second Amendment rights, so the can continue to steal your First Amendment. This doesn't end well unless someone pts a stop to it. Where are all the selfless people with courage? Gone, as far as I can tell. God help us.

110 Speaking of dishwashers, we've been in our current house for close to five years and we've already had to replace two dishwashers. Our last one was a $900 Whirlpool that we got for about $650. Both the control board and the motor went kaput.

I did some troubleshooting, and hired a guy to come take a look. I was hoping we could switch out the board, but when I found out the motor was done too, I bought a new one. The guy told me the days of dishwashers lasting eight years or so are long gone. The modern crop only lasts three.

A big reason the vastly shorter lifespan is all the government hurdles they have to hop, which makes the machine more complicated.

124 Mennonites linked to Mexican cartels established cocaine smuggling pipeline near Alberta border: police
Although founded on principles of simple, godly living, Mennonite communities have been beset with social problems for the past decade, including drug trafficking
Jen Gerson; Sep 25, 2013

[...] The Mennonites are a Christian sect, similar to other pacifist and agrarian-based societies such as the Amish or the Hutterites. Fleeing persecution in Europe and Russia, they settled throughout the western prairies at the turn of the century. In the 1920s, several thousand Mennonites from Manitoba and the Swift Current area of Saskatchewan pulled up stakes to form colonies in Mexico. One of these, in the land-locked state of Chihuahua, was close to the city of Juarez — a border town now plagued by violence between Mexican authorities and the Juarez drug cartel. Estimates suggest tens of thousands of people have died in the ensuing war on drugs.

That is the foreign derived legal theory of positivism. But generally guidance legislation on administrative agencies require agency actions to not be capricious and arbitrary as the FDA was here as the administrative agencies actually derive their delegated authority from Congress and the statutes that created the agency (along with the APA and a few other general laws that apply to most of the bureaucracy.)

What the 5th Circuit did is reserve the delegation issue which is another kettle of fish to focus its legal torpedoes upon the factual arbitrary and capricious argument. That has a firm basis in administrative law and the FDA's actions are clearly of that type. See the Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v Volpe case.

We replaced our crap "fancy" washer and dryer about 3 years ago with Speed Queen. They're the best we've found comparing all the junk that's out there today. I mean, how's this for a crazy notion: the washer actually fills up with water enough to cover the clothes and wash them properly! We're very happy with them both. I only wish they didn't have computer boards in them. I just want simple dials like the good old days.

I once was at a migrant ag worker camp and saw one of the mexicans washing his clothes out of a bucket, rubbing against a slab of concrete to get it agitated, and rinsing in another bucket.
He said the camp manager turned off the washing machines because the outflow pipes to the sewer kept getting blocked by roots.

204 One of the common complaints with modern dishwashers and washing machines is that they're slow. This is true. They're slow. Painfully slow. Especially dishwashers. What used to take an hour now takes three hours.

Why? Water usage, primarily. These new machines are astonishingly efficient, but the downside to being miserly with water is that it takes way longer to get the job done. Being miserly with energy means doing things like eliminating heated drying cycles.

These machines usually work well and are marvels of efficiency, but they treat your *time* as free. And the government keeps pushing it further and further, which starts making things objectively worse in all dimensions. When you already have a 90% solution, further gains are way beyond the realm of marginal utility. But too much is never enough.

Carvey responds, "Yeah, that's cool, but you know what I hate? Tables! Taking up space everywhere I sit. I gotta put my drink on you?"

Short-selling is selling something you don't own, but not something you don't *have* (unless we're talking about so-called "naked" shorts, which I agree should be banned because it's counterfeiting). The short is based on a borrow/return system where both parties are aware of what's going on and how it is to be managed. There is nothing dishonest about shorting a security unless you're *also* machinating behind the scenes to change its price. The same condition is true on the long side. Dishonesty and regulatory capture are dishonesty and regulatory capture.

As to duration, I agree to a point. I don't think 5 minutes is excessive. A problem with HFTs is that they all front-run their own customers even though it's against the rules. Your brokerage shouldn't be betting against you when they have the superior data. It's dishonest. A five-minute minimum hold time would go a long way.

I saw an article recently that said 4,000 steps a day prevents dementia. So I went to a site that asks height and sex. Punched in my wife's stats. That's over two miles.

So for her 10,000 steps would be... against the math rule.

233 Mennonite (n.)
member of a German Anabaptist sect, 1560s, from name of Menno Simons (1492-1559), founder of the sect in Friesland and chief exponent of its doctrines (adult baptism, refusal of oaths, civic offices, and support of the state in war), + -ite (1). As an adjective by 1727. Alternative form Mennonist (n.) is attested from 1640s.

243 Recently in my town they've been having a debate about building a new mega apartment complex.

This past summer we had water restrictions because there wasn't enough. Opponents of the mega apartment complex argued we should cancel it because we don't have enough water as it is.

Proponents argued that it doesn't matter how many more people we bring into the town because the STATE decides when we have a water shortage. Their argument is literally that it doesn't matter how many people use a resource even though they are already telling us it is scarce.

And yes the proponents won at the ballot box. I love living in a blue area.

Way I see it those two things lead to the Vegas Gambling aspect of the stock market we see... its not being used as for the original intent, of aggregation of capital so companies can grow.

Back when you had to have someone physically buy the stock on the floor... it was not a big issue, but now with automated computer buying and selling, it has led to a corruption of the system (IMO).

Just like any system, Capitalism taken to extremes, turns counterproductive to its original intent.

248 They 'make work' that can go on and on for an unimaginable lengths of time. They have like-minded NGOs assisting.

If/when they put a proposed regulation into the Federal Register, it's usually given a certain about of time (often 90 days) in which the public, manufacturers, businesses, etc. may comment, pro or con.

Comments received are supposed to be considered prior to the issuance of a new regulation, amendments made, certain portions of proposed regulations withdrawn . (I have no idea if bots are still being used to respond to proposed regulations and wind up being the great majority of comments. "My daddy wants me to have a healthy, green life," submitted about ten thousand or so. Agencies - in the past - also had their supporting outside groups & even federal contractors comment.)

Few 'public' comment. Manufacturers may comment favorably, as may government contractors. Again, maybe bots with repetitious but favorable responses, too. By & large, it's slanted towards what the agency has proposed.

And that's how executive branch agencies can run amok with regulations.

Not only was it a +1, it was a fly everyone in, as well as +1, who didn't live within driving distance of HQ. Plus hotel for 2 or 3 nights. Golf outing the day before the party at a high end resort. And then the party itself was at a waterfront restaurant with booze flowing all night and incredible food. All for about 175 employees, so 250-300 total.

That weekend easily cost several hundreds of thousands.

290 That, and fighting "homelessness," which is of course mostly caused by lack of houses and drug use but mostly heavy drug use.

I like to tweak the "WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING" people on homelessness by pointing out we didn't have a homeless problem before the government got involved, so obviously the thing we must do is get the government OUT OF housing completely.

319 Late to the thread, but the "square corners doctrine" is a Gorsuch thing. He said a while back in a decision that citizens are required to "turn square corners" when dealing with the government (ie, not cut corners) so it is reasonable to expect the gov. to be required to turn square corners when dealing with the citizens.

This, I think, is a big deal. It reverses a long trend of the gov. shitting on us. If they have to meet their own standards they are screwed.

Yeah, it's not going to happen overnight. But the trend is to build fewer and fewer SFHs while building more and more multi family housing. California banned SFH zoning in the entire state. And many cities/counties across the countries have done the same. It doesn't mean you can't build SFHs, it just makes it more expensive and hence less demand for it.

Of course the elite will still live in SFH, with yards. The proles will be the ones forced into 700 sq ft apartments. Just like in the USSR.

That's not correct.

What happened was that Christie dropped through the floor of his local BBQ shack while trying to pick-up a quick lunch of 10 racks of ribs.

His belly got jammed in the hole and he was stuck there for hours.

Worse than that though was the family of opossums took up residence in his ass crack.

They kicked out the family of Norwegian rats that had been living in his ass crack since last February.

Congress encourages & approves the automatic annual increase in fines issued to - for example, employers by the U.S. Department of Labor. It encouraged the initiation of more regulations & fines to employers during covid 19. Congress is allowing funds to be taken from the VA (and perhaps the IRS) to be used for 'processing' of undocumented immigrants arriving in the US. Congress approves and even raises the often outrageous budgets submitted annually by executive branch federal agencies.

Congress is basically worthless but for keeping itself in high style & providing employment to about 10,000 direct employees.

He is cribbing from earlier case. Rock Island, A. & L. R. Co. v. United States, 254 U.S. 141, 143" where Justice Holmes was warning corporations and individuals of the need to comply with regulations. That was repeated by Scotus in the 40's in the Merrill case dealing with crop insurance. The local government official gave a farmer bad advice on federal crop insurance coverage and the farmer relied on it. Basically federal agencies are not bound legally by whatever advice that government employees give and individuals are bound by the actual law or regulation. Same thing if you call up the IRS for tax advice--the agency is not bound by what its agent tells you but the actual law and regulations.
