Every9ne I personally know has a dishwasher.
... I know one person in this country who has a dishwasher. what the hell?
idk what it's worth but the ONLY place I've seen without a dishwasher is my sister's college dorm 🤷♀️
According to my brief googling, there are 131.43 million households in America, and either 79 or 80 million American households own dishwashers. I could not find a breakdown by state, but I suspect they're predominantly popular in wealthier areas, and less popular in poorer areas.
I'm pretty sure it's a space thing. How many millions of people in New York live in half a closet, where your "home" is the place where you sleep and recharge your phone, and you spend every waking second out and about in the city. You don't have a kitchen much less a dishwasher. Meanwhile I've never seen a double wide mobile home without one equipped from the factory. I would be surprised to find a multi-bedroom family dwelling without a dishwasher.
Someone I know moved into an apartment with no dishwasher, and they were like "fuck this" and bought a countertop dishwasher. So apparently that's a thing.
it might be an urban/suburban-rural thing? lived in a lot of apartments without them.
What country do you think supports the American dishwasher companies if Americans don't?
corporations don't need to actually make products to be profitable. look at tesla. I assumed it was a few suburbanites and the rest is financial instruments/subsidies, to the extent I thought about it at all.
They do need to be profitable to last as a company. Whirlpool won't be bailed out by the world's richest dipshit.
right they need to be profitable.
they don't need to make products to be profitable. which is the thing I actually said.
and I fully expect they will, if they kiss the ring.
This isn't one product, it's an entire division of a very very large company. It's profitable. The entire category of dishwashers as an appliance is not a lost leader.
Most of the muskrats "wealth" is in stock. Tesla is valued at more than every other car company in the world put together because a whole lot of dipshits think that a company can grow forever instead of looking at the actual financial data. There are going to be a whole lot of bagholders on that one. The point is if you think every company can operate like Tesla, I would encourage you to do a whole lot more reading. Tesla needs to be profitable at some point to stay alive anyway.
well, they think it can grow forever based on subsidies and false value. so far it's holding. it looks like it's about to become the official car of the reich, and be shunned everywhere else in the world. dunno how that's gonna work.
and the point is: GE moved from actually making TONS of stuff somewhere mid-century, to being mostly a financial product company in the 1980s. it's a valid course of action for a company to take in the surrealist nonsense fantasy they've turned the world into.
