They are Generac reseller. These are for standby only. Don't ever
try to use them, stupid (customers).
Funny math and science:
Greek: 50% default is not a default. We can cut another 50% of the
remaining debts, and do it again and again, etc.
French: China will give us 100B, we can increase it with deflector
shields and reflective multipler by 100x. It's not smoke and mirror.
World debt problems are over.
Germany: We can pull in several more China from other Universes.
Problem solved.
Generac: There are less than 200 hours in a two-years (730 days)
warranty.

They've been unionized/socialized and so can't afford to produce anything,
just like the US.
