I don't know what's on your plates (a few drops of vegetable broth?) but I have never seen anything short of an industrial dishwasher that could actually deal with bits of food still on the dishes--and you still rinse dishes before putting them in an industrial dishwasher!
I'm guessing these people haven't lived long enough to inspect a broken dishwasher to find a bunch of old rotted food jammed up in the dishwasher's innards.
 
I'm curious if the Daily Wire paid off a bunch of bots to spam Ben Shapiro's latest videos on the tariffs with comments on how they're a disaster for the country. Just looking at the top rated comments, you see a lot of name + numbers accounts.
It's the new default naming convention that it's applied backwards to old YT accounts as well, if I remember correctly

I’m not sure what crappy dishwashers you’re using. Every dishwasher I’ve owned, from old tanks built in the 70s to Chinesium late models have been able to handle dirty dishes fine. You need to scrape off the solid parts of food, but that’s just because that’ll clog the drain. You are supposed to leave the residue. Dishwashers are actually designed for the grease on food to maintain the mechanical parts. If you prewash the dishes, it’s worse for the dishwasher.

If the dishwasher isn’t cleaning effectively, usually it’s water temperature. Below 110°, water has a hard time melting grease.
 
The funniest thing about the boycotts over tariffs is them talking out both sides of their mouth. I thought that umm ackually the tariffs are paid by the importer so you stupid American are footing the bill? The interesting fact is how weirdly obsesses they are with America. You see videos of Canada packing up Jack Daniels to ship back removing the product entirely. American liquor store just raises the price of crown royal as needed without even mentioning the tariff. Americans have been getting fucked by tariffs for so long that we have already accepted the markup for "imported" as a fact of life.
"We don't think about you at all" in action. Even if subtly. :story:

The obnoxious part about muh tariff frenzy that's occurred as a armchair econ dork on slow down times is finding any information on historical tariff rates for specific goods and specific countries you have to turn your search box into something that looks like a fucking host file had an abortion with a python script with the amount of boolean bullshit to filter out anything that isn't reddit and twitter retards squawking, freedom.eagle/magafart domains, or the major MSM rags and articlefags pumping their SEO to the gills with TARIFF for buzz and clicks.

I just fucking want to run goddamn numbers and see how bad the fucking we've been getting has truly been on specifics goods and materials has been over a decade.
JUST GIVE ME FUCKING NUMBERS AND FIGURES INSTEAD OF RETARD'S PUFF PIECES YOU WORTHLESS WEB-END.

I'm starting to think that bookchads had the right idea, you can't algorithm suppress and SEO boost and put a stupid fucking AI pre-amble on the printed fucking word.
 
are statistics about black crime bullshit?
Yes, because they are even worse observably than the stats say. If you need proof then go to your local D'Jackson and strike up any subject of normal conversation. Offer your hand in handshake and look him right in the eye and smile warmly. Do everything you'd do with any rational, civilized human being and make sure you wear a vest and slash resistant gloves.

You don't even need to approach a local drug dealer. Just ask if you can bum a light for a ciggie when you're waiting for your next bus at the bus terminal, and watch how they look at you funny.
 
Been seeing a lot of the following on twitter/reddit.

"If Trump gers his way your North Face jacket will be $2000 and your degenerate rapper endorsed Nike sneakers will be $500!"

Well good news nigger I don't buy moronic luxury status products because I am not a mindless consumerist niggercattle drone.

A lot of people would be happy to pay more for clothes and other consumer items if expense still actually guaranteed quality. The problem these days is that even if you choose the "more expensive = better quality" brand or model, there's no guarantee it's not shit. Even if it's a brand you have trusted for 20 years. One day you'll buy a pair of shoes from a brand you've loved for a decade, only to find out too late that the manufacturer switched warehouses in China and the new manager decided to cut some corners with the materials, and now your shoes are falling apart after a month. Same thing for appliances, even cars. With a few rare exceptions (that most people can't afford anyway), brands and price points aren't even trustworthy anymore.

Which is one reason many people just give up and buy cheap disposable junk. At least if it wears out quickly you didn't pay that much for it and you don't feel like you got ripped off.
 
Hey guys remember when the Chinese state media ran an article about China, Japan and S Korea forming a trade union? That was funny.
I like them using Ishowspeed to show how good China is.
The Chinese haven't realized this yet but bragging about how good your home is just invites 3rd world mongrel shitskins so I hope this leads to them getting flooded with infinite niggers and pajeets fleeing to the LGBT lighting cities. I mean, that could be the plan to fill in all those empty cities they've built the past decade but would also lead to mass death from the shit construction so it kinda works itself out.
Since China is China and has this weird Polish attitude towards the West it'll be funny seeing them brag about all the niggers and pajeets they imported to own the racist West like how they bragged about all the trannie faggots using that Rednote app trying to demoralize us. Like ok? We don't want them here, you can have them.
 
Honest question, Why didn't they wear gloves?
I ran freezer areas and my coworkers and I just used gloves to protect our hands (with the addition of moisturizing after a shift if necessary). Didn't have any issues.
Tbh I had more problems when I did dishes from the hot water/cleaner combo. THAT really messed with my skin.
She wasn't allowed. And there were no co-workers sharing dairy duty. Just her, up and down the entire very large dairy section, restocking and facing off for 6-9 hour shifts.
 
It is to encourage some manufacturing to reshore itself itself in the US while also getting our trade partners to come to the negotiating table. That's it, plain stated as can be. Some unintentded industries will get caught in the mix, some goods may rise or fall in price but that's how this game is played.
The issue with Trump's tariffs is that they create too much uncertainty; he's not even applying them strategically and has already flip-flopped multiple times.

Regardless of your stance on tariffs, businesses aren't going to gamble billions on U.S. manufacturing if tariffs come and go like Twitter headlines. Businesses make plans in 10 - 20-year blocks, not days or whatever Trump's mood is. Why would they rewire entire supply chains if the trade policy is going to:
1) be reversed next week
2) get undone by the next administration.

Tarriffs that fluctuate each week or with each administration don't provide the kind of certainty or incentive for businesses to plan or make long-term investments. So instead, businesses play it safe: they freeze hiring, freeze investments, outsource even more, and hedge their bets. They stagnate and don't gamble on anything disruptive. until things are more predictable.

there is one way to fix this.

I have 2 preschool age kids. We eat "normal" slavic things like meat, potatoes, salads and soup. The only "extra" thing I need to do is to simply trash the leftovers, like I won't put a dish inside with meat, bones or potatoes still on it - that would obviously clog the drain and fuck with the device. I don't rince them, just put them over a bin and scoop out the leftovers - if needed. Then into the dishwasher they go. That's in addition to utensils, glasses and coffee cups, pans and whatnot.
 
Mother fucker, do you know how expensive it is to leave California? The cost of rent and expenses alone makes having a savings almost impossible.

I would have been out of here a decade ago if I had the money to leave.
If you don't have money to leave California, you probably don't have money for guns either and aren't ordering CA restricted weapons in a different state which is what my comment was about.

Sorry you've been trapped there but after a decade you've likely built a life in California and that makes it all the harder to leave. The bottom line is you'd leave if you HAD to, so you could also leave if you WANT to as well.

Explain why automakers invested billions in EV manufacturing when it was clear that there was no market demand and that the mandate would go away in four years.

By the way, Biden kept Trump's tariffs on China.
