Then I went to get some gas, looked for the lock on the nozzle to I can get some coffee there while I'm filling up just to found out as of Oct 15Th, 3000 gas stations in California have to have the locks removed because there were 13 people that got sprayed gas on because the nozzle failed. 13 out of how many people that drive in California? All I could think is 13 shit for brains that can't operate a gas pump.
The point I'm trying to make is that it isn't about safety, it's become about liability, we have become a society that have become protected by lawyers, instead of cops. You have to be careful of what you do, not because of safety, but because someone will sue you for everything you have worked for. You can break the law if you have good lawyers, you can win a case if your lawyer is better than their lawyer, even if you were in the wrong. Lawyers have because a protection racket.

welcome to America
California laws are getting a bit absurd IMO. the permit is not because of the 13 people who are to retarded to operate a gas pump, its more revenue for the state. all these changes are about $$ and that money goes to the state, and they are the ones with power, not the cops.
Its the states lawyers who make up ridiculous things like this, whom to the normal folk of society think having a permit to sell coffee, because the coffee is to hot and could burn you is the state looking out for your best interest.
