What happens here

The video shows a man in a Costco aisle, standing next to a display of large spools of yellow electrical wire. He points to a price tag on the shelf indicating '$199.99' for 'SPECTRA 12/2 Copper Wire Indoor Construction'. He explains that this price is for 500 feet of 12/2 NM-B cable, also known as Romex. He mentions that this item was previously priced at $242 and is now on sale again. He then discusses his previous statement that it's 'great to be an electrician', explaining that while Costco can provide electrical supplies like this wire, they cannot provide electricians themselves. He concludes by reiterating that becoming an electrician is a great career choice.

Goal: Discuss the price of Romex wire and the benefits of being an electrician.

like this. Now, it's already on sale again. 200 bucks for 500 ft of 12/2 NM cable, also known as Romex. And I posted another video when this was $242, and now it's $200. And people were confused when I said, "This is why it's great to be an electrician." Because could you want to imagine Costco providing electricians? But they can't. But they certainly can provide electrical supplies. And that was my point about being an electrician is the greatest choice you can make as a career. Just saying.
