Fact is, he lives in Trump properties with their substandard contract construction. He doesn’t know good water pressure.

LED bulbs aren't going to be pushed back into a niche.

They've been mainstream for more than a decade, and they do everything filament bulbs did better, except waste energy and give off excessive heat.

If you turn on the shower and no water comes out, call a goddamn plumber. Not a deluded dipshit like Trump.

pablopobre.bsky.social•70 days ago

Fucking idiot.

Wow, an unregulated manufacturing industry! I can't wait to buy my unsafe, non-functional device from such an industry. It will create so much more excitement when you try to turn something on and get electrocuted.

Are you all trying to give him a glow up in your art?

Confusion Reigns should have been the campaign slogan.

More regulations for a non-existent problem.

And in three years this, along with all his other cockamamie ideas, will be rescinded…

oraclestwin.bsky.social•70 days ago

Yes let’s rescind all the regulations back to the bad times that they remember as good times that never happened.

Did he consider installing a new shower head? We had a low flow problem and after installing a new,improved shower head we have fixed the problem. Didn’t even need to hire a plumber. Sheesh.

Often it’s just lime buildup from lack of a deep clean in vinegar soak.

24clmvntr.bsky.social•70 days ago

Wasting my time thinking about this. It’s likely the products HE chooses. Such as: heavy petroleum based hair glues & gooey pancake makeup. The dude is old school draggish (not a put down just he is stuck in old products). Again, HE should accept his own accountability & try some newer products.

barb-savage.bsky.social•70 days ago

Totally agree.

NEW LEGAL STANDARDS & PROCEDURES: Trump's EO #14219 & related Memo contain a new legal equivalency & standard. Regulations must "comply with the Constitution, laws, OR Administration policy." "Facially unlawful" actions are repealed "without notice & comment."

Next thing he will work on is the 2 gallon flush toilet. Much easier to totally sink the economy

That imbecile is perpetually stuck in the past … a time where few civil rights extended to everyone and women and minorities were pretty much not important! He wants to go back to the 1950’s… he is a sick, cruel man child and schoolyard bully

His pal Musk was just found to have installed 18 huge generators for his IA shop without obtaining air permits for their emissions. Under the "new and improved" EPA, IO wonder what, if any, penalty he will receive?

michael-iger.bsky.social•70 days ago

Trump's a joke spending his time on these issues, golfing as the economy crashes. He's not serious, it's all about ego and feeding his supporters championing petty grievances. He's incompetent putting politics ahead of the nation's welfare.

Trump’s true Archie Bunker is never far away.

flossman.bsky.social•70 days ago

Are there even any factories left in the US that manufacture incandescent bulbs for household use? I will never understand his hatred of LEDs. I haven’t needed to change a bulb in 10 years.

24clmvntr.bsky.social•70 days ago

Probably hates because if lighting is bright enough, people can see how old he is especially when wearing his makeup. It’s dries everything out, cakes & cracks in his wrinkles
