Games canceled due to gas shortage?

Um, no. You really don’t understand the situation, do you?

Well, unfortunately, if you drove your kids to school this morning, as I did, and your indicator was on empty, as mine was, and you found that your usual station was completely out of gas and the one nearby had long lines, you might feel differently. Or should I demand that my kids spend the night at school to avoid driving up the gas prices?

It's no one else's fault that you let your gas get that low.

So yeah, personal responsibility take some.

There's nothing to take responsibility for. I drove my kids to school, and on the way back, the low fuel indicator came on so I needed to get gas. That's neither irresponsible nor panic buying.

Huh? Pro Tip: Consult your gas gauge BEFORE it starts getting anywhere near the red, especially because you're an informed citizen who surely knows about the gas supply issues that exist right now. You're welcome!

Actually, I was not aware that there were supply issues. Do you know why? Because the Governor specifically said yesterday that there were no supply issues. I guess we should have known he was lying.

Yes you should have known he was lying. If he had said nothing at all it would probably have been safe to assume that there wasn't a shortage, but once he denied it you should have known that there most certainly was.

The only shortages are due to panic buying. He was not lying.

No - that is bullshit. There is a pipeline that was shut down for a week so less fuel is making its way to your local gas station. Panic buying is exacerbating the situation, but the shortage is rooted in less fuel being available due to the pipeline being offline.

Totally got it:

The issue is that gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are stuck in the wrong places. Moving it requires a hodgepodge of solutions, and analysts say it will be impossible to meet demand without the pipeline.

It has been less than a week.
The pipeline is operating again.
People’s panic and hoarding of gas caused the shortage. Had people behaved normally there may have been some strain, but not the shortages we’ve seen over the last few days.
The company, the SLTT and Fed governments, and the gas station owners failed to message and manage the situation properly.
Our enemies now have a playbook on how to attack us by leveraging dumb citizen’s propensity to panic and our government’s inability to message and manage variance to the norm.

In other words, "our enemies" know that we are human, and that humans always revert to human nature? Big secret.

That right there is your problem. Do you make all of your decisions based on information from people in POLITICAL positions? Read up on events and make you’re own informed decision. Or just be a lemming and wait for the government to tell you what to do.

Says the guy who gets all of his info from newsmax.

For the love of God please tell me you're a WaPo subscriber.

Right on the money. But lost on most people in this area, who think our principal enemies are domestic and whose primary focus is using coercion and redistribution to attain unattainable objectives.

All that was required was normal non-panicked reactions. Instead we got people putting gas in trash bags. Great job

DCUM: There's no shortage, only panic. Don't be selfish and contribute to the problem. The supply is fine.
Also DCUM: You knew about the pipeline hack, so if you weren't out there filling up, that's on you.

Ha ha - exactly! "Responsible preparation" is when you fill up your own vehicles; "Panic" is when your neighbor fueling up his vehicles.

The stories about people filling up trash cans and other random containers with gas represent 0.000000000001% of the people who were buying gas over the past few days; but it's a nice fake reason to blame for the gas shortage.

No person says both of those things simultaneously. The people who say the second statement are wrong.

Exactly not. Panic was the intervening cause. Panic initially caused the stations to run low, not an inability to resupply.
