BREAKING: Washington gas stations run out of gas, add extra digit in anticipation of $10 dollar prices

A spokesperson at 76 confirmed to The Post Millennial that the gas pumps were reprogrammed to allocate for double-digit pricing.

Gas stations across the US are running out of fuel and in anticipation of an increase in gas prices, gas stations in the state of Washington are reportedly reprogramming pumps to include double-digit numbers in "price per gallon" as the current trend could put prices over $10.00.

At the 76 Gas Station in Auburn, Washington located at 1725 Auburn Way North, gas pumps have been reprogrammed to make room for double-digit pricing. In March, they still had single-digit programming.

A Spokesperson at 76 confirmed to The Post Millennial that the gas pumps were reprogrammed to allocate for double-digit pricing. Although not confirming that they are expecting prices to increase up to $10.00 or more, the current trend suggests the possibility.

In 1969, when my father retired from the U.S. Air Force, our family moved from San Antonio, Texas, to Spokane, Washington.

We had been buying gasoline for 28 cents a gallon in Texas.

We were shocked to pay 36 cents a gallon in Spokane.

In those days, price swings of 5 cents a gallon were big news.

I lived through the Jimmy Carter years.
Some local gas stations dealt with that issue by changing the unit to quarts or liters.

I remember riding with my mom through Shawano Wi in the 60s and the stations were having gas wars.

14.9 per gallon.

The steps of inflation:

(1) Massive expansion of the money supply due to government spending and debt.
(2) Political leaders deny that inflation exists.
(3) Political leaders admit that inflation exists and blame it on greedy corporation and/or evil foreigners.

(We are here now.)

(4) Politicians impose price controls to punish greedy corporation and/or evil foreigners
(5) Price controls lead to reduction in production and shortages.
(6) Politicians tell the peons that they are selfish and need to tighten their belt for the good of the country.
(7) Politicians institute some form of rationing. Carter did even/odd license plate days for gas. Ration cards are also a possibility.

The key thing the politicians know is—never take responsibility—always blame somebody else!

The oil companies will be sorry — forcing everyone into electric vehicles.

Until the power grid goes down.

Plan for the destruction of the Dem Party.

Don't kid yourself, the GOP is part of this. They indirectly (by helping bills make it out of committee) and directly (by providing needed votes to pass) supported Biden getting over $3T of new spending with freshly printed money and they STILL haven't said boo about the war on oil that Biden has engaged in which is destroying the economy. They don't even campaign against him, really, because they think they will win regardless and don't want to have awkward promises that they have no intent of keeping hanging over them.

Bottom line, they're also part of the problem.

"All according to plan."

Yes.

One wonders if enough Americans will wake up to reality in time to save the USA from destruction--and to the realization that the destruction is intentional.

Biden is a figurehead. So is Obama. Both are the puppets of an extremely dangerous cartel whose objective is the destruction of the USA. Only the willfully blind will refuse to believe this.

Part of the plan is to import as many immigrants as possible, give them lavish welfare and make them dependent on the US government, and ultimately replace native US citizens with them, as they will obviously vote for the cartel's puppets.

Part of the plan is to destroy the US economy.

The ultimate objective is to replace the US republic with a wealthy and powerful oligarchy, viz. the cartel itself, ruling over an impoverished and dependent population, dominated by those immigrants being imported across the Mexican Border today.

Once this is accomplished, the cartel will rule.

All this is obvious to all honest, intelligent people.

The cartel intends to steal the 2022 mid-term election. If they do not succeed, America might have some hope of defeating them and surviving. However they have the success of the 2020 Presidential Election as a blueprint and a source of encouragement. They can count on those Americans who, wittingly or unwittingly, served as a fifth column to enable the cartel to succeed in 2020.

They know that they can count on millions of Americans who are willfully blind to what's going on.

They know they can count on the US Supreme Court to refuse to examine any evidence of massive fraud, no matter how clear.

The USA is in very serious danger.

AOC and Bernie have hijacked the Democrat Party. If we have free and fair elections, a big if, the Democrats will suffer an epic defeat that will result in a restructuring of the party if it is to survive.

Trump resurrected and expanded a dying GOP in 2016. America First candidates are challenging the GOPe for control of the party. It won’t be easy.

During the Carter years at some places the Canadian and Mexican outfits set up shop and should their gas at under cost cutting the legs out from under the American suppliers.

I remember several Canadian stations in Sheboygan Wi that sold to everyone and anyone at any time.

The Canadian Tanker trucks couldnt hardly keep up.

During long legged mack daddy Obama-the magic negro, there was Mexicans hauling gas up here to N AZ and selling it black market.

The Europeans have been paying $3+ a liter for decades. That’s why the peons drive little boxy diesels that get 4 to 5l/100km Norway with its huge north Sea reserves has some of the highest petrol prices in the EU.
