Gas
 

Here we go again.....

every station around me ran out today. they say it is only about 5% of stations out but 10 stations that I went by today were all out so I call BS on their "estimate".

welcome to the 70's again!!! inflation, gas lines, war in the middle east and a moron in the white house.

The new Jimmy Carter.

Where are you guys located that are seeing shortage? East coast?

Some how Trump will be blamed. It’s only going to get worse not better:party-smiley-004:

Is that a klan hood in the background????

Either that or China Joe's diaper drying out after Dr. Jill washed it out in the kitchen sink!

Must be in the southeast, hopefully they get the pipeline back on line after it's control system got hacked. One would think they could just manually start flipping valves on and off .

a hacker did this, and it just shows how outdated our power grid is, he gave access to that back to china... it just begs the question why these important areas to Americas stability are so easily accessed by bad actors.

as I understand it colonial was using a very old version of microsoft crash and burn or some such version. made it easy to get into as the security protocols were not very current. if you research how edward snowden got into and downloaded all the government secrets you will see that all these 'geniuses' out there are smart in some ways and beyond stupid in others.

My wife worked for 35 plus years for a large natural gas distribution company. She is puzzled as they had two separate stand alone programs for the pipe lines. Problem with one...shut it down and use the back up.

I dont disagree, however it goes to show how complacent US companies are combating theft and problems such as these... for Christs sake people still fall for the Nigerian prince scam... there is no company in America, including the federal government that shouldn't be investing HEAVILY into cyber security... the bad guys are making trillions... I think this is the tip of the iceberg... There was hacker a while back (few months) where someone got into a water supply and increased the amount of a chemical, that would have killed millions...

I agree. I literally 20 minutes ago had a conversation with the VP of a local bank that said the same thing. Everyone is using on line banking. It is a constant fight he said trying to combat hacking. He advised to use more then one bank in order to have a backup and to print your statements weekly for a record. He said banks getting hacked is way more common then people know. I just recently had to upgrade my credit card machines to remain PCI compliant aka insured. We are going to start seeing more and more of this especially with this weak administration that’s in office.

Took 3 stops to find diesel in Sarasota just now.
Lot of plastic bags.

I tried 2 stations last night and 2 this morning. Finally went on the Military base and they had gas. I have heard a lot of other people around my area saying they have seen lots of stations out. Central Chesapeake Bay area Maryland.

Wait...that Nigerian Prince thing isn't real ? Asking for a friend.

But more seriously, our enemies don't fear us, and our allies no longer trust us. That's not good.

We're on the West side of MI and while I don't know this for sure, I was told by someone this morning that stations in the SE corner of the state were experiencing lines and shortages.

Story of my life right now. I just went through one audit for PCI and now about to light-off a ISO 27001 gap analysis. At least we're focused on it, but we have to be for contracts. So many others that I know especially mom and pop places, are not even close and running at huge risk.

that was my point, you would think companies this big would be more proactive with security than they seem to be. I know that it is a constant battle but you have to fight 28 hours a day to avoid things like this.

News on in Florida saying it's all a big hype to trick fuel buyers Florida gets it from a different source!:angry-smiley-038:

**unplugs my Tesla, plugs it back in... I'm good :)

I have heard similar. The northern panhandle of Florida is affected, but central and south Florida get their fuel off ships. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, but there sure a lot of people filling up gas cans today in Clearwater.

He let china back in and the acess is left weak because they want us to fail. They can lie and call it a hacker or an emp our grids out. Media's gonna play along with whatever hokey narrative is out there. They'd never ask obiden why we went from energy independance and major security efforts from cyber to border to this mess, they're in on it.

Ring ring, hello china we need a shipload of transformers and stuff, oh so solly you super bad america you no get.

my fellow americans, we get our power grid parts from china thank me later for that, any way china says if we give up our guns and shred the constitution they'll send the stuff so we can turn the lights back on.

there in on it

People are Idiots. Filling up plastic bags?? Really??? That's called a Car Bomb in Iraq.

Now Irish Car Bombs ---that's another thing :coolcowboy: Ill take 3 please.

No, I was referring to the practice of gas stations putting plastic bags over the pump handles when the pump is empty. Still crazy though, our fuel comes from the port of Tampa.

HEY!! No mean tweats thou so it`s totally worth it !
:silenced:

I wonder who she voted for.

.

D. A. B. Odds that's all in her trunk after the ride to wherever? :stupid:
If she's involved with any man I feel sorry for that guy.

Person taking film did nothing but film ? Whoah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean if you voted for that communist senile idiot that`s running our country into the ground then I`d let Darwin work that out .

Jimmy Carter 2.0
 

Major US pipeline hacked, price of everyday goods is skyrocketing, Russia is massing troops on the border with Ukraine. Ukraine is threatening to take Crimea back by force. China is threatening Taiwan and its neighbors while also threatening our ships and Navy. N Korea is testing missiles again and restarting their nuclear weapons program. Iran has been emboldened and making more than their normal threats.
Our southern border is a humanitarian disaster caused directly by this administration, and the administration that promised transparency is hiding it and not letting the media have access. Ford is closing plant and moving it to Mexico after just bringing it back from Mexico because of the current Administration’s plan for Increased taxes.
Price of steel up 145%,
Lumber 126%,
Wheat up 25%,
Food index up 25%,
Cotton 35%,
Silver 38%,
Copper 50%,
Soybeans 71%,
Oil 80%,
Pipeline jobs lost.
Wall construction jobs lost.
1.9 trillion in stimulus that funds the administrations pet projects and only paid a fraction to the people.
29 trillion in debt with 4.8 trillion projected 2021 deficit before the 2 trillion dollar stimulus proposed today for the new green deal.
9+% unemployment with millions of job openings that can’t be filled because federal unemployment assistance makes it more advantageous for people to stay home than work.
Man what in interesting time with the new administration but at least no more mean tweets...thriving!!!

Oh the irony !
