First, UL certification is NOT required.

Yeah that is wrong.

You might find the odd community - Wasilla, maybe - that does not require BY LAW that only UL certified **** be put into homes.

You MIGHT.

But generally speaking, no UL, no sale. BY LAW.

That is how wall street makes its money. BY LAW. That is why, in many states, armed policemen will visit you if you try to live off-grid. It interferes with wall street profits, as they own the electric company you are forced by law to patronize. 
 
Capitalism relies on the state to corner markets, rather than earn their business. Look at Microsoft. It's an inferior product. But it owns the lion's share of the market. The reason for this is not that it served the market better, but that they were better connected and better at bullying the competition rather than out-serving the competition. If you look at any industry, private enterprise always does a better job. But capitalism always wins, because they have the government gun behind them.

We need to emulate this nation's founders and rebel against capitalism and reinstate free enterprise. Wall Street should be hermetically sealed as a monument to a failed economic system - an economic system defined by parasitism over service.
