People are raising Cain on social media about a law in Oregon making it legal for citizens to pump their own gas. [More]The headline is BS, because nothing is being "banned," although considering who's passing laws there, I see how that presumption was made. Still, no wonder the cud-chewers demand a nanny state to "take care" of them and not trust them with adult things like guns.
How do they fill their lawnmowers?
Oh.
I didn't realize "Motorists in New Jersey ... face stiff penalties for touching pumps – fines range between $50 and $250 for the first offense and up to $500 for subsequent offenses."
So I incriminated myself with the personal anecdote I shared in this piece?

More interesting is "how do we fill our motorcycles?" I can't recall the last time a pump jockey didn't just hand me the nozzle. The good ones even hand me a work towel to catch drips.

Typical that Oregon and New Jersey are full Commies on this.
