The thing that caught my attention was the subject line "Government
Inspired."

I think it was "inspired" by citizens who were concerned with they
reported accidents involving gas and other flammable materials over
the years.


There is nothing inspired about the new cans. As sold, they are
unusable without a spout extension (hose and clamp) or a funnel.


i.e., through the thoughtfulness and concern of these do-gooders, people are
being forced to make modifications and kludges that will result in more
spilled gasoline with a higher likelihood of catastrophic consequences.

Heaven save us from concerned citizens and the politicians who listen to
them!
