If you want a jobs program, do something for the crumbling infrastructure in Oregon. Actually provide value to the society. Pumping gas is a giant waste of tax dollars and it is not preparing the populace for better jobs - it is the equivalent of flipping burgers.
It is the worst possible way to create a 'jobs program'.
- mind-blight 5y agoI've lived in Oregon most of my life, and while I think the law is basically pointless and would love to have it revoked, it doesn't waste any tax dollars. It just makes running a gas station more expensive
- stickfigure 5y ago> It just makes running a gas station more expensive Not quite right: It makes buying gas more expensive. The state of Oregon could, instead, increase gas taxes by a few cents and devote that wealth to some other economic activity. The net result of the law is waste.
