    Reminds me of those memes saying how much copper is in the traffic cams… Bet there’s a bunch in these too!

    How hard can it be to destroy those?

    Would be hilarious if all the day laborers went to a competing hardware store and Home Depot saw their sales drop by 50%.

    As far as I’m concerned, those machines are weapons. If it is being deployed against you, you may destroy it in self defense.

    Seems a bit weird of them. I guess they will hang out a Lowes instead, and I can pick up shed building equipment supplies there, and conveniently get some help building it in a new spot.
