A FB friend and former co-worker posted that they have 4 gas stations in Swansboro, and none of them have unleaded.That Maya Angelou quote comes to mind:
We had 47 years of that first-time experience with Senator and Vice President Joe Biden. We knew he had failed up throughout his political career and made more bad policy decisions than Pelosi’s had Botox injections. Yet Biden still managed to be installed as President because, “mean tweets!”, or something.
Candidate Biden tried to do a song and dance about ending energy production in the United States, but no one wanted to believe that he actually would. After President Biden’s Day One executive order killing the Keystone XL Pipeline, then others that put a moratorium on fracking and domestic gas production, I think it’s apparent that he meant what he said the first time.
It is now around Day 130 of the Biden administration, and we have had the privilege horror of seeing the result of his bad policy decisions in real-time. Gas prices have increased. Quite a lot, in fact.
After the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack this weekend, we are now seeing a full-on fuel shortage, to a degree we have not seen since… oh, 1978?
Biden can be called out for his Energy Policy, not the Cyber Attack On Colonial Pipeline

Friend of mine in Myrtle Beach says most stations are out of gas.

Reckon I should chart a course from the dock with my boat over to the marina gas pump before those too empty.

I heard Kyle say something about there being another run on TP.
Homeland Security is reporting
' There is no Gas Shortage '
sure there is plenty of fuel ... at the Refinery ...
‘There Is Not A Supply Shortage.’ Homeland Security Advisor Reacts To Concerns Of Fuel Shortages Following Pipeline Cyberattack
“Right now, there is not a supply shortage,” Sherwood-Randall stated. “We are preparing for multiple possible contingencies — because that’s our job, especially on the Homeland Security team — and considering what additional steps may be useful to mitigate any potential disruptions to supply.”
Sherwood-Randall concluded by noting that the privatization of such infrastructure is a point of weakness.
“This weekend’s events put the spotlight on the fact that our nation’s critical infrastructure is largely owned and operated by private-sector companies,” Sherwood-Randall argued. “When those companies are attacked, they serve as the first line of defense, and we depend on the effectiveness of their defenses.”
“To improve the cybersecurity of our critical infrastructure, the Biden administration has already launched a high-priority initiative to collaborate with our private-sector partners to harden our defenses and to build our nation’s resilience,” Sherwood-Randall added.
Yeah because the Federal Gov is a Model of Efficiency

I don't think I've ever seen Tim Pool (Libertarian) so pissed, and I think he was probably more pissed than he showed (so Youtube wouldn't ban him).

This is seriously turning into Soviet style BS. If the talking head says not to panic, you better lock yourself in and batten the hatches. Dang.

you definitely have to parse the statements ... yeah saying there is no supply problem does belie the delivery problem
I'm more concerned about this:
