Well, whatever it is, I hope it doesn't require any attention from the Moderators.

I won't get within a mile of that statement. Or touch it with a ten foot pole.

Ha- I hear you're still on parole. Don't have any hesitation about throwing FWF under the bus either

The gas shortage. Unless what I'm reading is all made up? Sounded like the east coast was pretty much out of gas?
we were briefly. The pipeline going down was a fairly big deal but the situation wasn’t out of control until the reporters (who I hope burn in hell) decided to stir up a panic. Note the pipeline had gotten shut down several days earlier but it wasn’t until last Sunday afternoon that they really started stoking the fires of fear and everybody and their cousin started filling every vehicle and possible container with gasoline in a massive freak out which of course emptied everything that would have probably lasted until midweek when the pipeline came back online.
I've read that in New England the shortage is because of a lack of fuel tanker drivers. Some got laid off and never came back, fewer graduating from a truck driver school because schools were shut.... make up your own excuse LOL
Our fuel market here was down to a few hours supply for a few days during the texas freeze a few months ago media never peeped about local supply or shortage so the system recovered without issue pretty rapidly
People would be blown away how short supply is when the pipeline goes down there was a simalar story here about 15 20 years ago with a pipeline leak shut down the pipeline for 2 weeks and the world ended
