This is insane. Legally (like anyone pays any attention to these laws) you
cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical socket to your own home,
but you can change the brakes on your car. The second one is FAR more
dangerous to other people!

It's not about safety. The electrician's union owns more government lawmakers
than the mechanic's union.


Which electrician and which mechanic are you referring to?


I know an electrician named Bob. I also know a mechanic named Bob.


My original statement was:

"Bob's union owns more government lawmakers than Bob's union. "


But I realized that was confusing. So I reworded it to:

"The electrician's union owns more government lawmakers than the mechanic's union"


I'll try harder next time.


Tim Streater is one of those moronic OCD ****wits who can't understand a sentence unless it's perfectly grammatically correct. Like anyone places apostrophes' like that anymore.
