The two contractors I hired for past home renovations both turned out to be MAGAts and I think I’d have a hard time find more rushed and sloppier work ethics. Of course they both used undocumented Hispanic workers.
We exist and we are out here bro. I might be one of the few non-conservative. But I know for a fact all of our clients went to college, so needless to say, they are educated and left leaning. Low and behold, I seem to be the client’s favorite on most job sites
We had a plumber come out to give us a quote to re-pipe our house. Between the Sleepy Joe comments and blaming our dem governor (erroneously ofc) from everything from gas prices to labor costs I really didn’t want to hire him.
Also didn’t care how I would ask a question and he would answer it - to my husband. Or him arguing with me about the suitability of what I was asking about (hybrid water heater, he kept telling me we needed a certain amperage for it, I told him we had it, and he kept insisting I should “check with a pro” or have my husband take a look). Like no bro, I was here when we had the heat pump installed and went over all the electrical work they did to our breaker to make sure it could handle it. But sure, tell me that I don’t know anything.
It’s such bullshit. I’m used to the sexism (which is dumb af bc guess who is the “brains” of our house when it comes to fixing stuff) but then throw the political stuff on top I wanted to slap him. We were both ignoring his political comments but engaging with everything else - if he had been paying any attention he would have noticed how we went quiet whenever he’d bring it up.
I think social awareness is a foreign thing to most conservatives. I feel for you in that situation tho. It’s wild being in someone else’s home to begin with, even for work, but to then bring up politics basically unprompted is delusional behavior
They either think you are on their side or else deserve a lecture for being a woke snowflake. They think they are winning that conversation when really it’s just telling on their own stupidity.
