Are the poor today above washing diapers because they can't afford the luxury of disposables ?
No--that scrubbing them in the bathtub isn't as easy of a plan as you claim.

Around here the subsided/income restricted apartments are nicer than the full price ones. I often wonder how those companies make money.

LOL..it's called the kitchen sink

Portable washing machine that hooks up to your kitchen sink:

Purchase the Haier Portable Top-Load Washer at Walmart.com. Save money. Live better.

I did it for a year until I got a washing machine.
And went 3 times a week to my parents place and did a laundry there.

It's as easy or as hard as you want to make it to be.
I didn't think a thing of it..just another daily chore before bedtime.

So freeloaders should never ever have to do anything hard ever,like washing their own offsprings diapers.The gov should take my money and buy them landfill fodder even though I worked 10 hrs and cleaned my kids diapers that nite cause I don't qualify cause I work,BS thinking

Clothes washers don't use special connections. The water line is a hose connection, just like the one on the outside of your house, you can get an adapter to connect a hose to your kitchen sink. The electric plug is a simple 110Volt 15 Amp 3 prong connection, will fit in any household outlet. The drain line is the easiest, it's a hose with no connection-but I'd put something heavy on it to keep it in the sink, the water can flow out with moderate force when the machine drains.

Alright, what's the next firstworld crisis for me to solve?
