We don't have gas pumping problems in Oregon. The pack mules are content with the vegetation found alongside our narrow trails.
People can't pump their own gas in Oregon. It costs us some percentage but guarantees whatever number of attendant jobs.
Yes, the feds require automatic cutoffs here too, but they don't always work perfectly.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
