“i have bought enough Edison light bulbs to last a few years at least. Im 71 so i dont need all those newfangled bulbs, that rape your wallet, too.”
How do they rape your wallet when they save you money!
Not to mention the labor savings.
the initial cost of Edison bulbs is cheaper thsn the non-Edisonn bulbs.
the non-edison bulns are ‘suppose’ to save your utility bill.
I bought ‘a round of Edison bulbs’ , enough to fit the sockets of my few lights, twice.
that cost me 10 dollars. that is for at least one year.
One single non-edison bulb, at that time was 10 dollars. To fit all my needed sockets, I would need to spend 70 dollars for a ‘half round’.
All to save pennies on the light bill.
To boot, this is hurricane season, and i live in hurricane country. When a ‘good one’ blows through, no lights, no power, no kitchen, no a/c, no water.
And now Gramps Joe wants to outlaw gas electric generators!
Aleady getting rid of gas stoves will kill the Oriental food restaurant business, so i think he wants hurricane country to revert medieval!
all for his whim to become government dependent!!
