For the first time in more than seven decades, drivers in Oregon are allowed to pump their own gas.

    This is such a ridiculous take. If we can get rid of a dangerous job, we should. If we can’t, they should get extra money as hazard pay, not minimum wage or just above it. If the argument is, but that job isn’t hard, maybe just maybe we shouldn’t mandate it exist just for the sake of having anything and actually take care of people.

      Pretty sure landscapers don’t get paid well enough to work such a dangerous job. Almost everyone should capable of mowing there own lawn in 100 degree weather, right?

        Their* and you seem to have missed the mandate and conditional portions of my comment. I never said make the job illegal. I said don’t mandate it exists. Funny how that’s different.

          Oh no, I accidentally a word. Hope you feel better now you’ve corrected me.

          So how about we come an agreement. You start focusing on getting rid of this law in NJ. Petition the state reps, or whatever. Heck, let me know you start, and I’ll sign petition as well. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to focus on planting trees and flowers to attract more pollinaters back to my community. I already have enough to worry, and I can’t focus on every little thing that affects every single by myself.
