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

      That’s nice, but I’m talking about Oregon, not NJ which is far more densely populated and accordingly is a very different place. I can get a freshly made sammich here in Portland at 3am too, I just can’t get gas.

        And that’s the thing. The densely populated areas are paying taxes and dealing with the CO2 output of the rural areas that we subsidize.

        The whole sons of the soil, oversized pickup trucks, farmer cosplay lifestyle can only exist because of the federal government. You can’t manage without gas for your pickup? Well, maybe you should do what the rest of us do and move to an area where you can use public transportation.
