Hooray for this article. Every lawnmower I have I have eventually had to "hack" to get to run. Where I work, the toilets are so old that they actually flush perfectly every time, unlike every other newer, government approved toilet I've ever seen. The bulb burned out the other day where I usually sit and read at home. I had to replace it with a curly bulb that now puts out a harsh blue light that is redolent of a warehouse, not a reading nook. When it breaks, as it likely will someday, it's going to be the equivalent of a hazardous waste spill. I hear the complaints in this article. Read on:
"I’m pretty alert to such problems these days. Soap doesn’t work. Toilets don’t flush. Clothes washers don’t clean. Light bulbs don’t illuminate. Refrigerators break too soon. Paint discolors. Lawnmowers have to be hacked. It’s all caused by idiotic government regulations that are wrecking our lives one consumer product at a time, all in ways we hardly notice.
It’s like the barbarian invasions that wrecked Rome, taking away the gains we’ve made in bettering our lives. It’s the bureaucrats’ way of reminding market producers and consumers who is in charge."
And it's completely true that a new plastic gas can bloats up like a balloon in the heat. I point and laugh at mine, but I certainly don't open it near anything flammable.
One of these days, we simply must reign in our bloated and overly powerful government.
