My dad and 2 of his bros were in the CCC. They loved FDR like a father....it meant survival.

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.

If they took off the damn "anti gouging" price controls, the situation would be fixed within hours. Station owners would put up ads on Craigslist asking for people with high-capacity generators to come over, the stations with undamaged pumps but no power would re-open, fuel trucks would drive over from PA or upstate NY if that's what it took. Gas might go to $6/gal for a while, but then decline.

When does the guy who walks to the gas station with an empty container get to fill up?

With respect, their survival was on the backs of small business owners like my grandfather, whose taxes supported "that idiot roosevelt's" enormous array of make-work projects.

FDR's great depression, like 0bama's ongoing and deepening recession, was caused by and exacerbated by deliberate government policy of economic meddling and social engineering.

You're welcome.

OBTW, anyone wondering why certain groups seem to vote in lockstep for the demonicRat Party, need look no farther than this ... they’re in love with, and beholden to Big Daddy Government.

It doesn’t apply to gas containers. You can get on the gas container line any day.

.It would be nice to have the odd number and get privileges two days in a row between December/January and January/February.

My disco-hazy recollection of the Cah-tuh days is that everyone could purchase on the 31st.

“...And your dislike for people living on “Lawn Guyland” is ... ?”
Nothing personal to any single individual, especially a conservative. Corporately, however, it’s an anti-gun, anti-God, anti-American, energy-hating, liberal, odongo-loving, socialist-taxing, politically-corrupt bluest of the blue states. Do I need to go on??
IF you’re conservative and against that evil, Great! But if you live in that socialist mess, maybe you should consider GTFO while you still can and leave it to the lib zombies to tax, suffer and feast on each other. Maybe consider moving your love for America, your abilities and talent to somewhere where it will be honored, respected and appreciated....just a thought.

In Obama-Land we will all be equal, except for the Democrat Party Politburo and their pals.

The rest of us will be equally destitute and equally stomped on by government.

“...Why on earth would you say that? People are hurting....”

Nothing personal, especially to conservatives there. See Post #8 and #31. BTW, they’re gonna hurt a lot more too...wait till the financial collapse hits and store shelves become bare. It’s coming.

Yep. That’s why they’re coming for our guns as fast as they can get it done. In some areas of the country though, they’re in for a verrrrrrrrrrryyyy rude awakening.
