Only one EV charger at home?!

Government spawns bureaucrats and bureaucrats need something to do.

There is no annual inspection in this state. You might get a ticket for obvious flaws like burned out lights. There doesn't seem to be any more rolling wrecks on the road than in states with a semi-annual inspection.

I don't know how many states are left that do not have mandatory insurance but at one time the number of uninsured vehicles per capita did not differ between states with or without the requirement. The fact there is an 'uninsured motorist' item on my insurance points to there still being quite a few.

Presumably by the occupying forces.

The nanny state is California.

Elsewhere they just get on with life.

I'm quite confident the bandsaw manufacturer's lawyers advised them to put so many warnings in.

Why do you assume the government mandated it?

Why so you assume it needs a mandate, rather than a clear direction that the safety of the consumer lies entirely with the manufacturer, under 'law'...

I don't assume the government made them put all the warnings on it just some of them. There is Even a warning from California that the nickel in the blade is a hazard to health and causes cancer.

I look on it as the people on the juries and the court system is the cause of it. For instance someone put up a ladder with one leg in a frozen cow pile. Sun comes up and cow pile melts and ladder falls, case sues and wins. Judge should have not even allowed that case.

I think all tools should have on the package 'to take a course in using the tool or do not bother suing us when you do something stupid'.

Then it's not the "nanny state". It's people. Your fellow citizens are responsible.

Clearly it is important to inform the consumer of the possible consequences of their purchase, no?

What problem do you have with stating that the product could be damaging to your health?

Then there are the inherent risks in using large woodworking machinery, and while a bandsaw is considered one of the safer stationary tools, informing the end-user that improper use of the tool can be hazardous seems warranted. Particularly with the notable lack of industrial arts education in the primary school system.

OK, how about government regulations on the new gas cans. They have to be spill proof and self closing . Just bought a one gallon can to use with my chainsaw. It comes with a device you have to hold with one hand while screwing off the spout to fill it with. That part has been around for years. Now the spout is designed with a spring in it tat you have to somehow push on it so part of the spout springs back. They do not have a decent vent to let air in as the gas goes out. Takes much more time. Then there is some kind of flame arrestor in the fill hole that causes filling problems.

Could go with the big one. Gun Control. Some states do not allow guns with removable magazines to hold over 10 rounds. Almost no time frame to change out one magazine for another full one.

The state should be responsible for NOT allowing maximum litigiousness to prevail.

You can blame manufacturers for not wanting to make two kinds of gas cans depending on where they're going to be sold.

Aren't you smart enough to wire it open? That's what my husband did. Or get an aftermarket spout.

Yes, it's regrettable that someone tries to improve air quality someplace and you are inconvenienced.

Don't go to those states. Stay at home and yell at the kids to get off your grass.

I suspect more people are injured by the vaxxicide clot shots than by band saws. Funny how there are no warnings on the clot shots.

I suspect more people are injured by covid than by vaccination, but it doesn't come with a health warning..

You could have worked out the statistics if you have enough sense to work out how to spell vaccine.

The AstraZeneca COVID-19 was never used in the US - it was developed in the UK - so your suspicion is probably false.

How would you know? And since 1 in 50,000 is too infrequent to let it get detected in clinical trials, how would the manufacturer?

I am smarter than that. I modified the spout to work better and stay open. No need to spend money on the after market parts.

I have spilled more gas with the new cans before I modified them than I ever did with the old ones.

I should not have to do that. If it was not for the ' nanny state' I would not need this.

It may have been more about child-proofing than air quality. Hosing down the lawnmower while struggling to pour gas doesn't help. The gas can manufacturers certainly came up with the worst possible design to implement the regulations.

I haven't bought a new can recently but there is a new regulation about a flame retarder that came about when some retard tried to pour gasoline on a campfire. The attempts to circumvent Darwinian selection aren't going to end well.

Thinking of mowers look at all the government safety regulations on the walking and riding mowers.

Strangely I hadn't noticed many here in the UK. Gas guzzling un catalysed un fuel injected single cylinder mower with only the most rudimentary safety features, like switching off if there is no weight on the seat - trivial to bypass if you acre, which I don't
