A few places I’ve worked through the years were for ServaStar Hardware in Naples, Florida, back in the 80s, ACE hardware in Douglasville, Georgia in the 90s as well as the Hardware Department of a Walmart Super Center in Douglasville. After returning to Florida, I began my employment at a car wash then in the hardware department of another Walmart Super Center in Fort Myers, Florida before moving into the electronics department earning Walmart’s first and ONLY title of computer consultant. I was sent to electrical class several times and its taught that a knot in an extension cord is a fire hazard but yet look at this manufactured corded light socket. Upon opening it to replace its cord with a higher rated wire (lower gauge), meaning thicker? The manufactured “product” comes from the factory with a knot. Never trust a manufacturer, like NEVER trust government, corporate, religion or science. They don’t care if one dies, just like the airlines. It’s all ready calculated in their budgets.
