The Oregon politicians and governor just passed a bill and signed into law allowing self service gas pumping...

@BizSuitStacy I used to be a Gas Jockey in the SW Portland area over 30 years ago, it was a fun job.

@eli1601 New Jersey is another one, and may now be the last.

@Picklebobble2 As a Native Oregonian from Portland, we have always valued jobs over everything else, the cali and east coast carpetbaggers have always tried to undermine us in everything job related.

@NativePortlander1970

You missed my point. Maybe elevator attendants were making money had over fist, i don't know.
The fact is that certain jobs are just outdated.
Like the lamp lighters buddy mentioned.

@Pikachu Outdated? Full service courtesy is never outdated, numerous people appreciate it, specially the elderly and disabled.

@NativePortlander1970

I mean, i'm sure people said the same thing about elevator attendants lol.
But i take your point about the elderly and disabled.

@MarineBob They will not drop the gas prices, the dem politicians are too greedy to keep them high for the taxes.

@Mindful That won't do squat in Oregon, the voters for decades kept rejecting self service every time it appeared on the ballots, actually making this new "law" illegal by the state Constitution as voter referrendum supercedes assembly law.

@NativePortlander1970

Have you even been in a room and heard someone share thoughts and feeling that you would dare to say aloud?

I believe that one voice or letter can cause a positive donino affect.

I was just trying to change your focus because I didn’t realize what you meant by “leaving”.

I am glad you are simply getting out of an unhealthy environment. I would prefer that.

If you don’t mind explains, what is “self service” in regards to voting?

@Mindful In this case, self service gasoline, pumping your own instead of gas station workers pumping it for you, the Californians and East Coasters that moved to Oregon have always hated people pumping gas for them, they always wanted to do it themselves, and have always gotten petitions signed to put it on ballots for voters to decide, which they always said no, so the Californian and East Coast carpetbaggers (politicians that move from state to state to get into the politics there) decided to do it legislatively, bypassing the voters illegally, because Oregon is a voter referrendum state. When it comes to politics, the voice of the people in America is often ignored.

@trollslayer Multitudes of jobs will be lost, permanently, which proves you do not care, nor knkw how to think, troll.

@chinga So you're saying the Elderly and disabled are fat and lazy? Karma has a funny way of remembering things.
