Mad Max Becomes Reality: The great gas shortage of mid-May 2021

[james]

A cyber-criminal gang that took a major US fuel pipeline offline over the weekend has acknowledged the incident in a public statement.

"Our goal is to make money and not creating problems for society," DarkSide wrote on its website.

The US issued emergency legislation on Sunday after Colonial Pipeline was hit by a ransomware cyber-attack.

The pipeline carries 2.5 million barrels a day - 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel.

The operator took itself offline on Friday after the cyber-attack. Work to restore service is continuing.

Look at US policy reaction to Iraq trying to leave the US dollar standard, willingness to overlook and even cover up Saudi Arabia's human rights violations, and willingness to fuck with Venezuela's socialization of its country's natural resources. The US acts without restraint whenever its oil supply and oil-driven fortunes are threatened.

These guys are fuuuuuuucked.

“Panic buying or hoarding of gasoline will prolong outages and price spikes, making them much worse,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at Gas Buddy. “It is true that if the pipeline remains out of service into the early part of next week, roughly Tuesday or so, that some gas stations may run low on gasoline. Tank farms that take the gasoline from the pipeline are likely starting to see supply run low, so it is vital that motorists do not overwhelm the system by filling their tanks.”

De Haan and his company are urging motorists to only buy what gasoline they immediately need for their cars and avoid filling their tanks until Colonial Pipeline resumes full operation.

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

Most of those morons hoarding fuel look like they could do with giving walking a chance.  Probably the same shitstains who use BS handicapped licenses to park next to the front door of Old Country Buffet.
 I'm awaiting the Darwinism of the mouth-breathers blowing up their house after they light up a smoke in the garage full of buckets of gas.

This dude has had his car taken away, been jailed, and just comes out, then buys another Tesla and keeps on doing it.

Googling him for those videos, he was arrested for selling a stolen iPhone and thrown into a psych ward for two weeks when he was 18, and then was semi-famous on Instagram some years back for trolling celebrities, calling them "peasants," under the troll name Itslavishbitch.
