    The local news channels this morning announced gasoline prices may spike as early as tomorrow due to hackers compromising a major gas pipeline. The hackers weren’t identified nor was there a reason given for the why. What is chilling about this to me is the apparent disruption that is projected to occur by this act. I’m wondering if the delivery system is so fragile that it only takes one pipeline being compromised to disrupt gas supplies ?

    Further comment by the TV ”newscaster” reported that rules regarding restrictions on driving hours by truck drivers were being eased. Reportedly drivers will be able to exceed the 11 hour daily maximum. That doesn’t sound like such a good idea to me considering the drivers are hauling liquid dynamite.

    So . . . . . if you need gas, better get it today (?)
    Saw this the other day. We filled up everything yesterday and fuel reserves will be topped off today at $3 a ****ing gallon.
    I hope all you crap heads that voted for this
    :poop: are pleased.

    This is the second pipeline, Biden intentionally nuked the Keystone pipeline...

    It was ransomware. Criminals are looking for a payday.

    Yes the system is that fragile. A pipeline or a refinery, either being out of commission will cause issues.

    Ya know, you may just be on to something there... When's the last time you heard of terrorists pulling shenanigans in Israel...twice?? Kind of like some of those "ex"-Soviet states, their approach is rather drastic and brutal, but works like a charm.
    Pity that we as a country are so beholden to the bleeding hearts that we no longer have the will to make the hard choices and do what needs to be done to prevent repeat attacks. Turning the other cheek just guarantees getting blindsided again. And whining/bemoaning the attacks without serving up real consequences just encourages the terrorists.
    Eh...I would stop just short of praising murderous dictatorships and their evil bureaucracy. Did you see the Chernobyl series? The USSR showed itself to be basically inept at preventing and responding to energy crises, even crises that cost thousands of lives.

    I'm not high on the future of the country, but wanting to be more like socialist states is all together scary for me.
