About 37% of Myrtle Beach gas stations without gasoline after cyberattack on pipeline causes panic buying

The video above was submitted by a viewer at Sam’s Club in Florence. MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW / AP) — About 37% of Myrtle Beach gas stations are without gasoline after the largest U.S. f…

Couple of things here to digest:
1) We have a shortage of qualified tanker drivers to make gasoline deliveries.

2) The cyber attack on the Colonial pipeline.

A couple of friends, one in Myrtle Beach and the other in FL both asked on their FB pages, "What happened? Why is there no gas?" So not only can't we get the gas into the tanks at the gas station, we can't move it through the pipeline. SMDH. The government believes that know the group that is responsible for the cyber attack and maybe they can make arrests, but probably not. If they are indeed apprehended, they need to be tried as enemies of the state. Furthermore, I believe that ANY person found guilty of committing Ransomware attacks on any government infrastructure (fuel, food, hospitals etc.) needs to be publicly executed.

I'm just waiting for the vapid comments from the woke ass greenies that will try and celebrate this and us it as a push to expand, in other words force, more reliance on renewable energy sources.

The thing is, the OFFICE Computers were affected, not the systems controlling the pipe line

This just demonstrates how fragile our infrastructure really is. Best prepare folks.

I don't know squat about the pipelines and how they are run but it would seems to me that personnel working there could just go out and turn the pumps on and keep things running. If it's just the Office computers involved it is probably more likely they cannot keep track of where the oil is going and who to bill for it, so they shut it down.

Just in time delivery of materials

Just thinking out loud here:

Biden: Pass my infrastructure bill.
GOP: No.
Biden: Pass my infrastructure bill.
GOP: No.
Attack on infrastructure rendering gas line inoperable, no real damage, but delays and inconvenience in getting things restored.

Biden, with a smirk on his face: See? Our infrastructure is weak. Pass my bill.

Coincidence?

 

[GURPS]

Biden ain't that smart .. plus the infrastructure bill has nothing to do with CyberSecurity and everything to do with other progressive pet projects
