I’ve got a 20-year-old whirlpool washer.
Who the fuck will buy a washer if it costs, say, 40% more this year, and they know it will go back down in a couple of years?
EU to impose anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese solar panels
EU's executive arm accuses China of selling panels below-cost and threatening 25,000 jobs in the European solar industry
China has been systematically murdering solar cell manufacturing in the West by dumping below the cost to produce them:
Better question is where were the Republicans all these years?

Smells like another ACA scam where the Republicans write the legislation and then pretend to be against it. Aside from whinging about it and blaming the Democrats, they never use their power to do anything about it. Wonder why?
Is it a high efficiency machine? If not, you've probably paid for a replacement 2 times over in extra electricity costs (assuming your dryer is electric).
"Southern states like Texas, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina among the most impacted."
"In short, U.S. taxpayers will end up footing half the bill."
My dryer is gas but i was clearly talking about my washer! Don’t think it’s high efficiency,

Huh? My dryer is gas but i was clearly talking about my washer! Don’t think it’s high efficiency, but how much juice could it really draw? I run a pool pump and a 2k sqf house with three kids who are always leaving the lights on. My electric bill still is usually less than $140. I got this thing for free from my last landlord who thought it was too old! “Take it with you”, he said. So I did! Six years later, I’ve replaced a dryer but not the washer! ‘Murica!
Replace the washer. It probably sucks up to much electricity
But total cost of ownership might be lower.
Everyone I’ve known who has bought a new fancy front loader has regretted it.

Are you saying that if your washing machine conks out tomorrow you'll wait couple of years to buy a replacement? ;)
Find the same model for sale on Craigslist-appliances,garage sales & use it for parting out.
I've paid almost nothing for junk & repaired my other junk.
One can repair almost anything using info from the web.
There's a financial calculator here:
do they sell a machine I don't hear bitching about? Thats the one I want.
If you're so concerned with the cost of washing clothes,If you're so unconcerned about the topic of this conversation, which is the balance of operating costs and capital costs of appliances in general and washer/dryers in particular, then perhaps you should not participate in it.
IIRC, when I purchased my first HE washer, the analysis showed that it would pay for itself in savings over a normal top loader without a particularly long life span.
Right. But the jump from 10y.o. HE washer to the latest stuff won't be anywhere close as dramatic. Therefore the argument that it's not really worth it to "upgrade" unless your existing machine is dead or dying.
"all American jobs and keeping those profits in the U.S.
If LG abandons the plant - no jobs.
and BAO is taking it at face value
If you're so concerned with the cost of washing clothes, maybe there's some BIGGER issues in your budget and income to worry about than water and detergent.
If doing a couple loads of laundry a week blows your budget because of costs, well, it's time for your husband to get a better job.
Do you call this advice?
Rich people save money... the broke spend it.
I’d like a rational explanation as to why they would do this. The article neglected to offer one, although they strongly hinted and spun the message that way. So perhaps you have personal insight? Why would LG stop ongoing plans to manufacture in the USA when the new tariff would strongly encourage them to double down on such plans?
‘Splain to me!
