In the Detroit Free Press, a leftist columnist laments that modern American gas cans doth suck. That it took him this long to realize it makes one wonder how often, if ever that he's used a gas can in recent history.
The Detroit Free Press: I wasted $40 on a couple of nearly unusable gas cans: How to find a good one
The writer, Phelan, notes that these cans were govern mentally mandated with "improvements" to make them environmentally friendly are not only hard to use, but lead to gas spills and hazards which is hardly good for the environment which is what they were designed to protect, right?
He goes on to note that the changes were due to governmental policy and you need to get on the "black market" to find decent replacement working spouts.
He does state it was the California and US Governments that combined to mess up something so simple as a gas can, but still thinks the environmental regs that led to him and everyone else using the cans spilling gas are still a good idea - so he can't endorse people retro-fitting them to make them work.
He can see the problem, knows what caused the problem but can't advocate fixing the problem as that would go against his love of governmental regulations no matter how much they make people's lives worse and cause the very problems they purport to solve.
