1 year agoI really hate how the context of this is manipulated by headlines like that. What is ACTUALLY happening is, Oregon motorists might soon be REQUIRED to pump their own gas. Why would anyone WANT to pump their own gas? Full service is more convenient for motorists. It’s the gas stations that don’t want to pay employees that drive this.
‘Gas stations in Oregon’s most populous counties will still be required to employ an attendant and offer full-service fueling with no difference in price.’
This will be loop-holed and you’ll end up having to wait 20 minutes for the one employee, so you end up doing it yourself, and then in a few years they’ll remove the requirement to hire that guy.
Meh.
The problem I have with this kind of thing is: I work on hundreds of different vms and containers and they can’t all be setup like this AND have root and system accounts be setup like this. So you get too used to it one place and forget its not there when trying to troubleshoot. These days i tend to try and keep my shell simple so my skills transfer easily anywhere.
