A Little Box That Stops Electric Shock

Dear Mr. Homeowner,

We have good news and bad news. The good news is we have built this house with the latest technology for maximum safety and convenience. We have also made these new technologies law so everyone will benefit from them (especially the suppliers and manufacturers).

The bad news is the price of the house is more than you could ever afford. Go live in a Hooverville.

Signed, The Electrical Industry Proudly supporting the war on the middle-class.
