    The Rio Grande Valley on the Texas-Mexico border is a perfect example. They ran the line right through the people that had been there for hundreds of years. And then you try to tell people “go back to where you came from”, but they’ve always been there. It’s the line that moved.

    I know these aren’t for home, but in the US/Japan/Canada/Mexico you’re gonna start seeing the need for dedicated breakers. A lot of apartments skimped and put in 10-15 amp breakers, which can (safely) support 960-1440 watts. A 20 amp breaker can do 1,900 watts at least, but again that’s usually for an entire room. Not just a single device.

    Edit: added a few more countries that use 110/120V to illustrate it’s not just a US issue.
