IT IS TO LAUGH

 So all those filthy bureaucratic mandarins that ran government for so long and who came up with the idea of the Energy Star and a higher standard for your dishwasher so that it would use less electricity are now standing around moaning about how crappy dishwashers are today compared to the 70s and going online to beat up their neighbors for not buying Teslas. You know, to save a couple of volts and thus the planet.

Sometime in the next ten years the kids are going to round up every single bureaucrat and school teacher and every college professor and college trustee and send them to the borax and uranium mines.
