Since people in New Jersey aren't allowed to pump their own gas, they should also have to call someone to drive to their house and plug in their electric vehicle for them every time they have to charge.
It would make a similar amount of sense.
Refusing to let people pump their own gas meant that many people who otherwise could not find meaningful work could find a job pumping gas.
So they could have just been paid to do anything else instead and they would have been happier and probably more productive to society.
Get them stuck in a shitty job instead of giving them the opportunity to go to school to find a better job
No, this is for guys like my buddy's brother who can't do anything else because they lack the mental capacity. There's a bunch of people who could not work anything more complicated than a pump and squeegee.
By letting Russ work he feels like he's contributing to his community because he is. It also lets him see more people than he would at his group home.
If Russ didn't have this job he would just be at the group home.
There's plenty of jobs like that that are actually useful though, I would much rather see more people sorting through what people send to be recycled than seeing people get paid to pump gas in a V8 SUV.
There are more people that can use these jobs than there are jobs for them
I'm talking about jobs that they already have a hard time finding enough people to do it, so no, pumping gas isn't a necessary job.
And Im saying guys like Russ can't do those jobs.
Right, because for some reason the only thing Russ is able to do is to take a nozzle, put it in a car and pump gas, ALL and I mean ALL other jobs in existence are impossible for him to do.

Yeah, I'm sure electric pluggers would also create lots of jobs.
