“The federal government has to to warn people about this??? We are really screwed.”

Many millions of people that have immigrated here are from countries that would think that this is a good idea.

If they're warning them about this, maybe they should warn them not to drink it, or use it on their hair.

"They forgot - we're not allowed to have plastic bags anymore."

But they could substitute those plastic bags with plastic diapers that can soak up a lot of liquid. There's plenty of them available.

"She said it was expensive ($2.85/gal)..."

I don't know where you live, but in the small city I live in, which is about smack-dab in the middle of New York State, gas has been over $2.90 for weeks.

Hmm, I'm beginning to think this so called cyber attack on the pipeline was an inside job - no foreign actors, just the good ol' USA Marxists in charge creating more chaos so they can take more power.

Everything they try they succeeds - so why not?

That’s true. Over the years, I’ve done some doozies. Luckily none captured on camera.

WHO THE HELL WOULD DO THAT??????????

(And gas stations on Maryland’s eastern shore are running out. I advised my stepmother out that way to go get some more food at the grocery store. I figure, as goes the gas and diesel, so goes the food, eventually. Most stores only have a 3-day supply, too.)

They will probably fine you now for spraying gas on carjackers.
