Consumer advocate: New Biden regulations mean ‘Everyday things that people want are going to get more expensive or disappear'
A pledge by the Biden administration in December 2022 to take “more than 100 actions” to impose significantly tighter environmental standards on consumer goods is now becoming reality, and consumer groups are predicting a future in which Americans pay more for products that do less, while manufacturers warn of shortages and supply chain breakdowns.
That will make it so that nearly the majority of the current products on the market don’t meet the standards and have to be redesigned or removed from the market,” Skinner said. “Everyday things that people actually want are going to get more expensive or disappear, and the products that will be available will be more expensive but not better. People are going to wonder why life is worse.”

The former is a means of control because when you are dependent on the outlet in the wall for everything you do, they can control what you say and do by threatening to shut it off.
The latter, a way to make it harder -- impossible even -- for people to prepare their own food from scratch, making them further dependent on the system to provide for them.
Think of all the things you can't cook in a microwave and imagine life without them.
And, of course, you will be clueless and helpless to stop them from adulterating your food with anything from literal poison, infertility-inducing drugs, sedatives, and even gene-altering technology.
