I'm replacing the receptacles in my 1989 home for more modern looking ones and discovered none of them have grounds. Will we be OK not addressing this? My understanding is that this is code in homes built from the 1960s forward. Hard to believe this passed inspection...

I nearly died when an ungrounded run of wire in my house shorted and failed to trip the breaker. It also fried everything in the house that wasn’t on a surge protector. It cost me $40k to have the whole house completely rewired, but it’s absolutely the right thing to do.

Yikes glad you are OK and thanks for sharing. Would have not thought of something like this happening if I was walking in my attic.

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%.

He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
