The issue is over. LOL to the fuel horders.

Speaking at Tuesday’s White House press briefing, Granholm noted that one of the pipeline’s major lines had resumed normal operations under manual control.

“I have had several conversations with the CEO of Colonial, who has indicated that by close of business tomorrow, Colonial will be in a position to make the full restart decision, but even after that decision is made, it will take a few days to ramp up operations,” Granholm said.

Yep, turn on the taps or else risk being nationalized.

+100! They should be nationalized anyway. This is too important not to be controlled by the government. We need a central authority who can ensure that fuel is delivered to people who need it, equitably and fairly. Leaving it up to the private sector is what got us this mess in the first place.

What got us into this mess was DarkSide hacking the system.

Did Colonial have to have to pay the ransom?

From what I head on the news is they turned the pipeline back on manually.

Oh lovely. So a bunch of greasy rednecks are now turning the spigots by hand. What could possibly go wrong there?!?!


So glad I have Model S.

Why would you want government control of private sector commodities in peacetime?

To ensure that fuel gets to the people who need it. Rather than just the people who can afford it.

I’ve always thought the price of goods and services should be scaled to the income of the buyer. For example, a POC single parent earning $40k should only need to pay like $.50 per gallon, while a buyer with a HHI of over $200k should be paying $6 gal, and above $400k, it should be $10 gal. That’s fair and equitable. We’re never going to achieve that letting the private sector run things.

Who cares how it happened? It’s a conversation worth having now.

Oh, well. I’m glad I barely drive.

This country is addicted to gasoline.

This country is massive, and poorly served by public transportation so...yes, people need gasoline.

And you clearly sound like someone who tops the list for being an arrogant, prim, pompous a-s who's filled with a false sense of self-importance. Enjoy cruising in your Tesla Model S. 🤣

Same thing as toilet paper a year ago. It's not "scary" and no, DCUM, you can't blame Trump for it.

Why is this thread even in the political forum?

I can and will blame the gop for this. I believe they are involved with Russia in perpetrating this now as their are preparing their nominees for elections. They are intentionally trying to wreck the economy to hurt Biden like Covid did Trump.

Totally different scenarios. I’m glad covid happened because it hurt trump. But this isn’t the same.

Millions of people died but it was worth it, right?

That’s exactly why people say Covid was a fake virus, because liberals would do anything and harm anyone to hurt Trump. Even kill millions of innocent people.

This is so true. This thread is eye-opening. So many sick liberals.

Maybe we should rethink development patterns and investment in mass transit and innovative ways to serve rural areas.

If people chose to live in cities they wouldn’t need gasoline. But all these idiots have to have their own little patch of ‘Murica! and a perfect lawn and a ‘Hemi in the driveway, and then blame Joe when Russian hackers shut down the local gas station.

Screw then all. I hope the shortage lasts forever.

DP, but totally in agreement with PP. If they loathe me, it’s because of envy. They wish they could BE me.
