“All work is honorable.”

True and under appreciated. But some work is completely useless make work. The best example I can think of is the state New Jersey not allowing customers to pump their own gas like ordinary people do in the other 49 states. An absurd and useless job.

Pumping gas. “ An absurd and useless job”.
It takes a lot of know how to find the gas filler on a 56 Chevy and some other cars of that era. And it is difficult to put the gas in older cars without spilling it all over. The nozzles don’t fit right. You need a trained professional to do the job.

What happens if you don’t squeeze the trigger hard enough, the lock doesn’t engage, and you have to squeeze again? That’s half a second wasted. States like mine require a professional, therefore.

The last time I was in Oregon, maybe three years ago, one could not pump one’s gas.

On a Harley, though, the let you pump it yourself.
