An outlet in the kitchen was sparking

An outlet in the kitchen was sparking


and it killed the microwave (fortunately temporarily). So I went on to my local town reddit and searched for an electrician recommendation. Two companies popped up. I contacted one and asked them to come out today.

Then i got to thinking. I don't know these people. What can I find out about them. So I went to the about page, got the guy's name, and looked him up on fb. His own posts were neutral, but his friends were magats and I do not want to do business with magats.

So I did the same with the second electrician. I found his fb page, and this is what he posted on 06N0v2024:


It's a great day if you're a white male disconnected from women, queer or trans individuals, BIPOC communities, undocumented workers, minimum wage earners, unhoused persons, Muslim or Jewish individuals, non-Christian or agnostic or atheist citizens, un-unionized workers, anarchists, socialists or communists. So yeah, not a great day for most people I know.


the second company was out by noon today, did a great job at a good price, and we had a wonderful visit at the same time.

I will make this a habit going forward i think. I resent every penny I give supporting people who are poised to destroy my country and hurt and/or kill untold numbers of people as they do so.

I only took down all my Kamala signs while they were working in my kitchen. I wouldn't trust a maga electrician past my front door, not to sabotage my job, not to rip me off for money, nothing at all. Then i see a tik tok this evening with a guy saying don't give your money to these people! and so it helped me believe that I am not so extreme after all.

I don't see the American people the way I did prior to the election. I just don't. Something broke in me that day. They don't get to do that again if I can help it.

Given that s/h/it was looking for an electrical contractor on Reddit, hiring based on politics is probably just the very, very smallest tip of a gi-normous iceberg of personal crazy/incompetent for this DUmp'Rat.

Good think it did not hire a tranny, who know what polarity it would assign to wire up your appliances.

Might even leave you with a female plug to "insert" into your female outlet.  :-)

I don't believe you, Barbtries, about that second electrician making that fb post.  Tradesmen generally do not talk like batshit crazy leftist loons.  Bad for business.  Dumb story.

Last week I joked about whether DU-Denizens actually checked whether their plumbers and electricians were Trump or Kammie voters. It was supposed to be a JOKE! Were the problem less hazardous I'd wish barbtries' choice of political views over work quality bit her, hard. If sanity is lucky, the Prog electrician will overcharge her.

Maybe it'd connect Neutral to both sides. No "Hot", no power.

No disrespect intended, Karin, but idiot Babs is right - this libtard exists:

My name is Trace, and I live in Durham, North Carolina with my partner and two children. I have a mortgage to pay just like most people my age, so changing careers in mid-life is a big leap. With that comes nervous worry but also excitement about the challenges I will face.

I got a wild hair and decided to become an electrician. This is after close to 15 years spent in the organic produce world with a more recent short stint as the mail-order fulfillment person at Merge Records in Durham. I am also a writer and zine maker. You can check out that world over on my author page.

Sounds the type to connect Neutral to both terminals of an outlet, especially if the wire is European color-code (Neutral is blue insulation).

An independently produced magazine, originally fanzine, lots of them were punk and metal related, particularly back in the 80s and 90s.  I get a distinct feeling this moonbat is counting their blogs, which should not count, IMHO.  Actually compiling, laying out, and printing out a DIY magazine is much more work and investment, time and money wise.
