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.

More likely a model D.B.

We’d rather prepare. My husband, a huge leftist, was off on a bike ride blissfully unaware. I filled up his truck for him, as well as mine last night. I also told my adult kids to do same and all three heeded my advice. Husband has learned not to laugh after I bought extra toilet paper and got some masks before the Covid crisis really hit, due to the buzz. He went through almost all the toilet paper despite me asking him to leave that case in reserve because he thought I was ‘crazy’. Then the crisis hit and I realized what happened (he lied about not using it). He had to get up at 5 AM and get online at a store and STILL got the last 12 pack. Came home shell-shocked. Good think I hid those masks. I also got a hand sanitizer dispenser and put it out in the garage.

I have a small business and managed to get another case and a case of paper towels a couple weeks later through a janitorial supply service only businesses had access to.

Never change liberals and hope to hell you have a “Trump supporter” to (literally) CYA in a crisis

Collectively you guys can’t be bothered to LITERALLY cover your faces or get your damn vaccines, so....

So true. I'm a freakin democrat who was prepared but didn't hoard.

You sound like a real peach. Your poor husband.

My mother is as liberal as they come, and she is the one who texted me 2 days ago about making sure my gas tank was full. She is also the one who was texting me about Covid being a matter if when, not if, back in January, and stocking up on masks and sanitizing wipes. It's not a political thing. Some people just have more prepper tendencies than others.

Let's be clear. This is not prepping:

1. Filling up the gas tank after pipeline is hacked.
2. Buying extra toilet paper in a pandemic.
3. Buying masks when the pandemic starts.

That is panic shopping.

This is prepping:

1. Buying a bike because you know energy shortages happen.
2. Stocking up on food when there is no crisis because you know a crisis can happen at any time.
3. Gardening, because a crisis can happen at any time.
etc.

How is #3 on your panic shopping list “panic shopping?” Most Americans didn’t have masks on hand before covid? Stores didn’t even sell masks. Then, you couldn’t go in any store or healthcare facility or even outside without a mask? That’s not “panic shopping.”

Stores did sell masks prior to covid. Home Depot, Lowes, Harbor Freight they all had n95 respirators. I use them for craft work and had many. When I heard about covid early on I sent them to my kids in college.

“Greasy rednecks”? It’s truly no wonder people loathe you.

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

Actuallt, I don't know anyone who desires to be a snob.

Oh honey, this isn't "preparing"; it's reacting.

Good thing for my husband, I reacted. He did not. Didn’t even know

He doesn’t do 2 and 3. One is purely recreational. Prepping is learning to read behind the headlines and acting quickly. I bought masks Pelosi was in NY telling people nothing was going to happen. And when Fauci told people masks weren’t necessary.

Sounds like your H is the only one in your household with a brain, since he rides a bike. You’re just as guilty as all the other hoarders.

What does he see in you ?

The ability to keep his kids alive and healthy and the household running while he goes off on his bike with his riding group 20 plus hours a week. I’d be more impressed if he used his bike to do something practical. Or perhaps consider buying an electric vehicle so we have at least one of each type.

And the fuel moves at a slow pace so 18 days before anyone sees a change.

LOL, unhinged. This is a private business owned by the Koch's and it was the Russians who hacked it.

But sure, it's all the liberal government's fault.

Insane people, come on.

Like you, I saw the writing on the wall in February in 2020, and starting advising my family members to stock up on toilet paper and shelf stable foods. My ex, the Trump supporter, was in total denial about it all. I had to find him toilet paper so our shared child could have toilet paper when she was over there. It was ridiculous. I shop for 3 houses, and made sure we had what we needed. I’m a liberal.

As a liberal, do you still believe this was not the fault of the CCP?

We elected Trump, not the CCP so not sure how we should hold a foreign corrupt government more responsible than our own Commander in Chief for the deaths of 500k of our citizens.
