Plastikbesteck hat den Tellerwäscher gekillt.

Plastic cutlery killed the dishwasher (from "from rags to riches").

Yeah and the environment. But you have it as a tag already. And made everyone lazy.

Evil me. ;)

You know, and this seems like a simple question of costs: Communist Germany (as far as I can remember) never went down on using the plastic cutlery because water and energy didn't cost much. That's the way you could keep it up.

In the West, it once must have been a question of costs per month because water and energy are two items growing expensive and more expensive for decades. Not even to speak the costs for the dude who does the washing.
I don't know since when there's been the privatization wave in the West, since when water and electric energy are privatized entities; I only know it also once had been differently. And this "different" must have been still valid after WWII.
But I don't know if maybe solely the prices were responsible for it, because of private businessmen growing too greedy, or if the West once also owned his basic infrastructure supply.

Amazing how they take hold of all vital industries like that and kind of hijack everyone and now everybody at their mercy. You cannot leave without water afterall.

That's the big twist with it and where you furiously want to ask all that politicians which want to sell that circumstances to you as something good if they're not alright in the head because you can hardly say "no, thanks - I spare it".
