Government regulations cost you, each and every day

The other day, when I got ready to mow the lawn, I got out the old gas can I had inherited from my dad. It was a battered old tin can with a rubber spout and a vent hole on the opposite side. It worked perfectly for many decades, but I noticed that it was leaking around the seam on the bottom.

A trip to the local hardware store brought me a new, EPA-approved PFC (portable fluid container), also known as a gas can with a low-vapor pour spout. I quickly learned that you need three hands to operate today's gas can. You spill more gas than you get in the tank.

Oh Please! The low volume toilet flush that doesn't. I have to flush always twice and maybe 3 times sometimes. All that to keep the EPA bureaucrats employed and save water - in that order of importance.

I think the Soviet Socialist Republic of New Jersey might ban self service pumps, as well.

We call these "gas cans" in the real world.

"Jerry Cans" in honor of the German fighting man of World War II. Formally known as the Wehrmacht-Einheitskanister.
