The federal government warned Americans on Wednesday not to fill plastic bags with gasoline during the ongoing fuel shortage on the East Coast.

“Do not fill plastic bags with gasoline,” the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission wrote on social media on Wednesday morning.

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

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

Exactly what I thought.

[Mariner]

Anyone who stores gasoline in a plastic bag deserves their fate. And the rest of society will likely be better off.

[ecomcon]

Sigh.

[Sacajaweau]

Like the Don’t drink clorox cr**.

[rlmorel]

I suppose they could have taught that in schools, but that would have displaced Critical Race Theory indoctrination.

Gotta have priorities, don’tcha know.

Not everybody is as stupid as the federal government

[Psalm 73]

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

But it's OK, 'cause we don't have gas anymore, either.

[BenLurkin]

Not even if you put them in the freezer?

Let me guess. Florida man strikes again?

Yes. Yesterday a woman was doing this exact thing. It was everywhere. I’m surprised you missed it.

I’ll just have to use paper bags to store the gasoline then.

[sport]

I would not argue that. You have your Democrat voters.

[napscoordinator]

The woman was 75. Hardly school aged.

I think this pipeline shutdown during Katrina and east cost junped from $2 to $3 in like 1 day.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

But drinking gas, washing it down with some Tide Pods, and peeing into your gas tank is still cool...right? (Disclaimer: To our DU lurkers - It’s not cool)

[_longranger81]

Having seen a friend use a styrofoam cup to add gas to a brush burn, I’m afraid it’s necessary. Never underestimate the stupidity of your neighbors...

[napscoordinator]

I hope she’s a democrat. But......
