Ice makers are the latest target in the left’s ongoing war against the conveniences of modern life. Earlier this month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a report that may condemn this essential household item to the contraband list that already includes functional light bulbs, toilets, washing machines and showerheads.
Comments and Replies:
Global warmists believe life is a zero-sum game where what other people do harms them, and hence, they have every right to tyrannize everyone else. It’s moments like these that make me grateful that we are all mere mortals. Imagine what these people would be like if they lived forever.
Another Federal agency that needs to be cut in half, reviewed next year, then cut in half again.
Really? I know a LOT of people who are going to be very unhappy about that. Maybe when we live in mud huts with no electricity and running water the zealots will be happy.
If one has poor eyesight, impaired depth perception, Parkinson’s or other condition causing problems with accurate and/or rock-steady placement of items, then an ice maker becomes an invaluable aid in providing material for an ice pack and relief on a hot day without spilling water all over the fridge and floor. Just two little things but important to those thus in need of a little help. It’s worth the approximately $3 per month.
How many ice makers does it take to equal a trip to Cancun so people can yak about global warming?
If an average refrigerator lasts 10 years, then that $37 works out to 1 cent a day savings. And the 2 Billion extra to make an inferior fridge works out to how many units per year, I’d bet a net increase of at least $1000 per unit. I’ll pay my penny a day for my ice maker and water in the door!!!
