I literally watched an X-Files episode yesterday that was about mass hysteria and it was a comedy episode. But it's real life in America any time idiots hear they will be minorly inconvenienced for a few days.

They are out of gas at every station near my work. Caution tape wrapped around every pump.

I think this mostly effects the East coast, right?

Every day, I feel more and more smug superiority over the common man because of dumb hysteria like this. People always making things worse with their stupid reactions to adversity.

Colonial Pipeline - which supplies 45% of gas to the east coast, suffered a ransomware attack, and took their pipeline system temporarily offline. They have millions of barrels in backup, but there's already a shortage in some areas - not because of the network breach or pipeline shutdown - but due to people stockpiling fuel out of panic.

Every time I see a tweet that a bunch of conservatives viewed, there's a slew of tweets from the usual riff raff attacking Biden. This was a frequent topic. It's the anti-obama machine all over again.

I'm sure people are stockpiling, but a large part is people filling up now "just in case" to circumvent the panic buying. The people going to the pump with a half a tank to fill up when they would have normally waited aren't helping either.

Ok thanks, I have family in NC. I heard it was an east coast thing 2 days ago. But as you know how memes spread, I'm hearing it all day here in TX.

P.s. back when people had to pick up a newspaper for this kind of news was much better imo.

It's like everything that comes across the net as possibly bad for some turns into a high noon shootout with our neighbors. (figuratively saying)

Shit. I was planning on getting gas tomorrow morning before I go food shopping. I think I'm close to empty.
I hope this bullshit hasn't hit here.

also we are in a coastal region so the vast majority of gas comes in through the huge ginormous port which is one of the largest on the East Coast but who cares when a good panic can be had.

How the hell has no one learned anything from the toilet paper hoarding.

People panicking - Calm down moron
People who own gas stations - Get one of your employees to ration a full tank of gas per license.

I think one of the sketchier stations here put 'out of gas' on the pumps this morning just to jack up the price and sell it tomorrow when everyone is out of gas
