OK.....
Here's a bizarre little thingie......
I just bought a new lawnmower...an' all the extreme eco freaks can hit the back button.....(no, I have not gone to manually push....I'm ridin' this oil crash while it's still sweet....,but when gas gets to $5.00 a gal...I may re-consider)
The strange thing was , the 20oz. of oil that they gave in the package was labeled
ELECTROLUX

""

didn' they make vacuum cleaners ?......I never seen a 4 stroke vacum cleaner....WTF ?

It's happenin' folk's.....I had little choice (in my area) but to go to the great GOD of "discount" home immprrooooovement, HOME DIPSHIT.

Friends (contractors) have told me that HD buys shit that has the "WELL KNOWN" MFG. brand , but , they scrimpt on "lil" pertictulars such as a "criticular" 'lil' bearing that makes the unit last longer....
BTW.....HD does this by it's COMPLETE dominance of "buying power".

I've personally seen this destroy local home improvement (small town)
firms in my area....

If you were at any point in your life interested in CORPORATE take over.....start paying attention....YOU WILL "CHOOSE" WHAT "THEY" offer.
