Fact is it just is not as good as copper you can sugar coated anyway you
want. It is cheaper, and faster to install. But now do the contractors pass
that savings on ? Now you bash the Unions what dose that have to do with the
quality of pipe. But are one of those people that think everybody but you
should make minimum wage, have no medical benefits, have no retirement. Even
Union wages aren't that much compared to cost of living anymore.
