Yes, I even went to the places that sell wire lube in 5 gallon buckets
and they wanted $15 for a 20A GFCI outlet. I guess that is just how
it is in the peoples republic of NJ. I try to support the local
stores and avoid the big box places when possible but I'm no Andrew
Carnegie and can't afford to give money away.

I recently needed a fuel pump for my truck and Amazon had it for $280,
including next day air. Best price I could get locally was $500 and
that was the price the repair shops pay! Needless to say I waited one
day for Amazon to get the pump to me that was Delphi and not a cheap
knockoff.

They tax the hell out of businesses and residents in NJ. All that
does is make it a downhill spiral, more taxes, higher prices, less
sales, less revenue, and so on...

Look! On the hill! With the sun behind his back. Astride a golden stallion!
Doves circling overhead. It is He who will smite with a righteous vengence
all who visit iniquity upon our brethren!
