I talked to a contractor that I used to know and he’s a stone cold liberal. We were talking about the oil crises and that he was glad that the oil companies were hurting. I had to remind him that a lot of oil workers were going to lose their jobs.I used to inspect concrete structures for oil infrastructure. The steel rebar and such. The oil workers are some of the hardest working men in the world. But my contractor friend is totally brainwashed and there’s no gittin through. Waste of time.

Oh BS. The cost of production for US made products is around 7-8% of retail. That is not exorbitant.

Tell him what his heating bill will be next winter and he may be lucky if any is available.

The tail of this thing is availability and prices. even at a cheap price, it may not be available.
