I stopped to get gas today at a station out of town and I noticed the most ridiculous thing on the pump.
The city has a weights and measures department who affixes a sticker certifying that a gallon is a gallon. The County has another sticker from their weights and measures department declaring the same inspection has been performed by their checker. The state also has a sticker on the pump indicating that a gallon is a gallon and that my wallet is safe due to their oversight.
Now all three stickers have a clause at the bottom that tells you it is the stations duty to certify that a gallon is a gallon. So in effect, all three agencies indicate that they are all doing something that the owner/s are responsible for.
Now if it somehow works it's way down the massive empire of tripplicate state agencies that they are all three duplicating the efforts of not only each other but the operator as well and a light goes off in someones dim head, the bureau's #1,#2,#3 of weights and measures can $hit can their empire for some much needed budget savings.
I won't even get into the City, County, and State food inspectors. That's a thousand times worse. They do not actually inspect anything, they just publish guidelines and give seminars to McDonalds workers on food safety. All three divisions of them.
BTW The member who has the bad back (side)..has a VERY fat back side, she probably couldn't fit into the regular chair. They showed the chairs on the news, ain't a thing wrong with them. One reporter even sat in ALL of them and said they were all COMFORTABLE.
