Default exercising an emergency generator

I wonder if we live on the same street. I've got one of those neighbors.

Thousand watt inverter is 83 amps, plus losses, at 12 volts. What kind of
connection? Bigger than a lighter socket, I'd guess?

My 1000 watt inverter connects quickly to any one of my 3 vehicles.
for short power outages and lights while setting up bettewr things,
plus I have a drop light with 12 volt bulb, and spare bulbs they break
easy..

my one neighbor is in her 80s in bad shape but refuses to leave her
home, I would absolutely help her out in a emergency. my other closest
neighbor is a buddy who helps with projects etc.

if I were provding electric and someone got too demanding I would just
pull the plug

most people getting something for nothing are pretty laid back, I
wouldnt ask for money for gasoline unless the outage lasted many days
