“More than 1,000 gas stations in the Southeast reported running out of fuel, primarily because of what analysts say is unwarranted panic-buying among drivers”
Sounds perfectly ‘WARRANTED’ to me - the supply is cut off, so stock up to have a chance of riding out the storm.
May have to revise timeline .... three or four weeks may drop to two weeks
Tell Biden(Obama)the 1970’s called, they want their gas lines back.
I shouldn’t have visited Jimmy Carter ,LOL
“Explain again why we have the Department of Homeland Security?!?”
To hunt down non-existent White Supremacists. Why do you ask?
Is Homeland Security in charge of private companies cyber security?
The problems of Colonial are their on, they have had years to correct these security problems and they did not.
Guess I’ll use the Tesla this week...
Such a mob shut down play.
