You fears things you do not understand how they work.
Guarantee most women (possibly a growing number of loafer clad men)fear electricity...as in they have not...and would not work with electricity.

BECAUSE they do not have a clue how it works. Beside that kind stuff if for to providers to provide.

The Statue of Liberty has 31 tons of copper in it. Better go see it while it’s still there.

Lots of GCs do everything except electricity.

Some thieves have tried to steal the system neutral at the wrong time.
Fried to a crisp…

“The Statue of Liberty has 31 tons of copper in it. Better go see it while it’s still there.”

If I can’t carry some lead, it’s not worth it.

This reminds me of True Detective Season 4 Night Country, where lawman Liz Danvers often reminds us how we need to ask the right questions to get the answers we need.

So here is the solution: If you are a junk dealer you do not accept copper or other building materials from anyone who can’t prove chain of custody. Hold the junk dealers responsible for repairs. That would stop this.

Im’ma white elderly boomer that has a well-labeled 200 amp breaker box outside. Still, I tend to work in our home junction boxes while they’re hot, if they’re not too full of connections. (Too lazy to walk out to the breaker box.) I’ve paid the price occasionally. The biggest loss...my 9” offset Klein sidecutters (dykes) and my Sta-kon crimpers both have burn holes in the cutter blades. 120 volts will melt a cutter edge.

Note...I never said electricity doesn’t scare me...LOL. It does.

Lol, no they make them and put them in their work/school locker.
Then blame whitey.
Then get caught, and get in zero trouble.

‘Copper Thieves’ are Turning American Cities into Third World Countries

Funny how an unchecked invasion of Third World denizens quickly turns the country third world.
