I want to illustrate some communist stupidity. These Marxist idiots have a kindergarten level of understanding when it comes to economics.
A circuit breaker for the front of the house kept tripping. I kept losing power to two bedrooms and a bathroom. 6 receptacles, plus the lights for the three rooms. I spent a good part of the day trying to chase down the cause. It took about 3 hours to discover one of the stretches of Romex running between two receptacles on two different walls had a short between the ground and the neutral wires. They measured less than an ohm between them. I was forced to cut the ends of the wire off in both boxes. Now the breaker stays on. I’m glad the wire in question only powers the one plug.
So tomorrow, I will run to Lowes and get a twenty foot piece of 12 gauge Romex and some nail plates. Then I will have to pull the baseboard between that plug and one that is on the same wall, pull the wire behind the drywall, use a hammer drill and masonry bit to drill into the block, pull the wire up in to the boxes through the hole I just drilled, wire it all up, and then repair the wall and replace the baseboards. Call it another 4 or 5 hours of my day MINIMUM. Even doing the work myself is going to take about 20 hours of work and cost about $60 in parts. If I had paid an electrician, probably $1,000 worth of service call. All because of a tripping breaker.
How is this related to communists? Because, according to Communists, owning and maintaining property isn’t work, and landlords shouldn’t be allowed to charge people money for that.
