They must be putting on parkas in hell today. Self-service gas is about to actually begin in Oregon!!!!

Oregonians will be able to pump their own gas starting this week​



There are currently only two states in the U.S. that don't allow drivers to pump their own gas. At some point this week, that number will drop to just one.

The Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 2426 earlier this year to legalize self-service gas statewide, and Gov. Tina Kotek signaled Friday that she intends to let the bill go into effect, either by signing it at some point in the coming days or allowing it to become law without her signature when it reaches an Aug. 4 deadline for her to take action.


 
I think that they don't allow self-service gas stations in New Jersy

Yep, they're now the only one left.
It's amazing to me, here in Oregon it was always based on safety, and the state fire marshall always gave it a thumbs down. How you can tell people with a straight face that it's too risky, when you had 48 other states doing it for decades without problems, is unbelievable!

I remember an old video game called Oregon Trails in public school. We played it on an old Apple computer at school. Seems you are getting out of that era finally.
 
Death and destruction ... Oregon and gasoline mix like ... well ... like cement buildings and Florida ... no good will come of this, mark my words, no good a'tall ...

I have a special Oregon safety gas cap ... says right on it "HOT - UNDER PRESSURE - Only open when cool" ... and boy it IS hot ...
 
I didn't even know about this. Pretty soon they'll get rid of checkout clerks, and stop assembling IKEA furniture for buyers in their stores.

I'm old enough to remember before 'self-serve' meant 'get to work slave'.

Yes, clean the windshields and check the oil. It is still honourable work
 
There is some evidence that China helped the three western continental states to become Prog socialist. they infected the coastal areas. China knows it is becoming dominant. They are setting themselves up for Pacific Ocean major power and more.

Mmm .. interesting perspective, liberals are indeed thrilled to sell out America especially on the left coasts and obviously the presidency.
 
I kinda missed seeing gas pump handles and hose being dragged down the freeways like when we lived in the Silicon Valley.
