Looks like Jimmy Carter got a second term after all.

Except this bozo isn't competent as Carter was. Carter was able to bring us to gas rationing in a single term.

Looks like Jimmy Carter got a second term after all.The Carter-zero comparison game ended last Tuesday.
zero is becoming more like an FDR, without the war (yet).
FDR was polarizing, from what I read. The old I don't know which side of the stamp to spit on joke.

from the horses mouth:
Per a customer of mine in LI. Many gas stations still do not have electricity. Also, many of the tanks at gas stations were flooded with sea water. Many of the pumps need to be replaced because of sea water corrosion. There is plenty of fuel in the storage terminals. The problem is there are only 25-50% of the stations open for business as usual. Therefore, the long lines at the places that are open.
To: Olog-hai
This will be harder to do in NY. In NJ all stations are full serve; that is not the case in NY.

They can hire a whole crew of gas station sheriffs to enforce it. Rent out some Black Panthers maybe? NY has pretty much unlimited money, right?

Yeah it is scary. Illinois has already come out and asked for federal guarantees of stunningly underfunded state pensions, and with Baraq winning, I’m sure NY and Cali will be right behind.

FDR was polarizing, from what I read. My grandfather always referred to him as "that idiot roosevelt".
At least when I was present ... Don't know what word he used in place of "idiot" when kids weren't around.

It would be nice to have the odd number and get privileges two days in a row between December/January and January/February. Maybe they’re hoping to solve the problem before February.
