Yes! And they got their genius ideas from yoose, Master.
Without you, they'd be sniffing trump's ass.

No, not really, this is harmful to the economy. People in the chemical >industry may be put out of work.
The Butylated hydroxyanisole industery will be harmed. There will be >layoffs at the perfluoroalkyl chemicals factories.
I protest and will go to city hall and chant: BHA BHT BHA BHT

California is a state that will get a notion, think of a plan, and carry it out.
They're probably the least stagnant state. When we moved to CA, I was astonished/
perplexed the first time I gassed up my car. The nozzle had a rubber gizmo that
fit over the filler area to create a seal. There was another hose attached to that part which sucked out any stray gasoline vapors. It was pretty awkward. They consider themselves to be the vanguard of the nation because well, they are.

I was very surprised back in 2016 when I bought gas at a filling station
in Harrison, Arkansas, and the pump didn't have a vapor recovery nozzle.
I guess they were grandfathered in.
Here's a joke I read this morning on Quora.
A man sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale."
He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard.
He goes into the backyard and sees a large, shaggy, black dog just
sitting there.
"Do you talk?" he asks the dog.
"Yep," the dog replies.
"So, what's your story?"
The dog says: "Well, I discovered my gift of talking when I was still
quite young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country,
sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one suspects
that a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable
spies eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out. I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I
signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious-looking characters and listening in on dodgy conversations. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a whole swag of medals. I also had a mate (she was a real
bitch!), several litters of puppies, and now I'm just retired."
The man is amazed.
He goes back in and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog.
The owner says: "Ten dollars."
The man says: "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?"
The owner replies: "He's just a big liar. He didn't really do any of
that stuff."
