I went to buy a gas can yesterday and found the only kind you can get now has a spout with some kind of convoluted button and lock that takes 2 hands to operate. Either you have to have 3 hands or putting gas in a lawn mower has now become a 2 man operation. [...]

If you read back on some of my other post you can see where I have talked about the quality of the goods being sold to us. The recent and ongoing Toyota recalls just exemplifies what I have been talking about. We have seen the toys recalled for lead paint, magnets that dislodge [...]
