It amazes me that people think others can afford a Generator at this time.

FWIW you can get a 4,000 watt portable gas generator for like $300-400 brand new - even less if you go used. They work just fine in a pinch.

You can get a new 2-stroke one that runs a fridge for $150 on ebay. Used ones on FB marketplace start at $50. Cheaper than losing a freezer full of food.

If you can afford a home in this state you can afford a basic generator.

You think people can afford homes? Barely anyone can even afford to fucking rent let alone buy a home.

That includes landlords. If they’re profiting off of a renter a second source of power should be guaranteed no question.
