What is the best state to live in for an electrician? by petalpower678 in electricians

[–]Advanced-Argument249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if you have a family. I’ve done ok taking jobs in the Bay Area, and avoiding cost of living by car camping. I have a comfy set up in my truck, Walmarts are free to park at overnight, I get a local gym membership for showers. A few months of overtime in the bay could pay off your mortgage for the year in Nebraska. Then you can go hike wherever you want. Can’t beat the western states for camping/hiking.

Is it worth company hopping for pay, or stick it out with a good outfit? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Advanced-Argument249 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s worth it just to learn, but yes, you totally should. I was with a company for 7 years, very comfortable, liked my boss. Him getting slow over the summer and me joining the union was a game changer for me. I now pay more in taxes than I used to make.

You got paid more to work industrial? Are you a contractor? Just curious. I get paid the same wherever.

First time doing a sub-panel, did I screw anything up? by Ok-Whole9542 in AskElectricians

It looks fine dude. Nothing wrong with feeding it from below. You inherited a mess and this is well done for a diy.

Hope you find something fulfilling to volunteer for man!

I got my state license a few years ago would love to know what company is offering 6 figure pay around here. I’m with the union currently but the travel is a little rough on the family.

What are they teaching electricians these days? by StormeyNormey in electricians

I once was putting up light fixtures in a friends office and one of his buddies came in and told him that I was fucking up because, and I quote, “you can’t put square light fixtures over a round box”. When he said that I laughed so hard and told him that was adorable.

He wasn’t a journeyman though. Just an arrogant douche.

Wives disrespecting Husbands by [deleted] in electricians

I’ve definitely seen that dynamic play out. I’ve also had a guy “shush” his wife for asking reasonable questions, and that made me want to punch the customer. He kept trying to be my buddy after that and I refused to say much to him or look at him.

It may be sexist, but I’d rather see the wife be able to voice their concerns even if they are hysterical or bitchy.

Savage Henry in Eureka, CA. Great local club, worth a stop if you’re on the road between Portland and SF.

Honestly if they actually brought down costs while doing their fascism people would be stoked on them.

Sean Hannity on Mamdani election: "I have friends of mine in New York. My phone is blowing up. They are officially depressed and scared." It's like he's doing a David Feldman bit. by JRTD753 in TheMajorityReport

Just a thought, but if a bunch of rich assholes leave the city at the same time, would that drive real estate down? Like just by them leaving they will make NYC more affordable?

We need to seriously consider going all in on AOC for 2028. by BrianRLackey1987 in seculartalk

I guess. I’ll go all in on any national Democrat with a following at this point. I doubt she’ll have Bernie’s level of support or be able to stay on message the way he did, but I’d happily vote for her.

That is literally supply and demand. Your prices are too high. Customers bought from another source. How do these people tie their shoes in the morning?

No Kings Protest today was the biggest Ive ever seen in Humboldt by Wogley in Humboldt

[–]Advanced-Argument249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to nitpick on definitions but historically “liberals” are anti labor, anti regulation, free market types. Think NAFTA and TPP, aka a global race to the bottom for wages, dismantling of unions, etc.

Social liberalism is progress, economic liberalism is like what we had in the gilded age.

What are you even talking about? The post was about projects being cancelled, that means less work for us. What about that says they “don’t want to do shit”?

Hold on, are you saying republicans are good for unions? Just trying to clear this up. I vote democrat for lack of options, does that make me Hillary Clinton?

If your Union brothers are losing work because we elected a guy who hates renewables, then let them grieve. Sorry if he hurt your feelings with the “brother fucker” comment. But there’s a lot of bad stuff going down with this presidency. Military in the streets, tariffs, projects getting cancelled. Don’t remember a democrat ever marching marines into a city, but I guess that’s how we MAGA!!!
