Reminds me of Trump and his… frustration with low-flow toilets.

“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”

Sounds like his dishes need to be seized to be redistributed

"I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, that many times I have opened the dishwasher, loaded properly, with the right amount of dishwashing liquid or pod put in, that all the dishes aren't clean," the orator declared.

Hmm.

Not really the point of the article, but that's not really using the dishwasher in the intended fashion. Those normally use powder. Normally, liquid detergent is for hand dishwashing and pods don't do an ideal job because they don't dissolve and release their detergent until after the rinse cycle, whereas normally dishwashers do have a spot for putting powder used during the rinse cycle.

Technology Connections did a video on this a while back.

They make liquid detergent (It’s a gel) for dishwashers. Perhaps that’s what he was talking about.

I’m not defending the guy, I’m just saying that I’ve been using the stuff for a couple of decades. It’s made by Cascade.
