Yup.

I didn’t see any of that foolishness near me. It was people filling their cars and service vehicles that drive all day long everyday, getting gas. Twitter is trash.

People are assuming here these are suburbanites. They very well could be farmers that rely on their tractors for their livelihood. If you get out of your bougie suburbs and go out towards Leesburg, there are plenty of farms. Or to put it in terms you city-folk understand, wineries.

Lol. You don’t know that farming vehicles have special gas, do you? Such a good farm boy would know that the diesel that farmers use on the farm is dyed red because it’s taxed differently, and certainly not purchased at your run of the mill gas station. It’s usually delivered to the farm. https://www.quora.com/Do-farms-have-their-own-fuel-pumps-Ive-never-seen-a-tractor-at-the-local-Exxon-If-so-what-kind-of-fuel-is-it-how-much-does-the-tank-hold-and-how-is-it-delivered

Not every farm is hundreds or thousands of acres with personal gas facilities, and most "gentleman" farms do not have the super heavy equipment. This guy may run his own lawn service or a multiple other types of businesses where he needs the gas.

Correct.

His customers are going to have a hard time paying if they can't buy gas to get to work. Maybe he should have saved some for them?

Remote work has decreased the need for suburbanites to need gas and most work remotely due to Covid. Small farms provide you Richies with the local organic produce you desperately want.

I love small farms. But that isn't how supply and demand works. When everyone tries to buy gas at the same time, especially when many of those people don't buy gas often, the gas runs out.

What part of the main pipeline is down do you not get? The problem isn't the gas runs out. The problem is, is the gas can't be replenished.

Obviously the pipeline being down is a problem. But it's only been down a few days. If people weren't panic buying we'd probably be selling reserves right now. I don't know how else to explain it to you. If you didn't learn it during the COVID shortages, you probably never will.

You are assuming this will last only a few more days. You should know from Covid how long things can last if the government wants it to.

I think it is probably that this will only last a few more days. I assume nothing.

P.S. If people were really worried about it lasting more than a few days, buying gas now would be incredibly dangerous, no? How will the food trucks deliver food when the food is gone? Good thing these smart people at the pumps bought all of it!

Depends on the size of the farm itself.

Not really. The dyed red gas is what small family farmers use, too. PP who claimed big blue barrel guy was just an aw shucks farmer getting gas for his farm is flat out wrong and can’t take the L.

If that is true, then the pipeline has been shutdown anywhere between 4.5 days and 5.5 days.

Will the current administration rethink their decisions to block the XL and dakota pipeline? I'm all for green energy but a drastic change won't give us time to adjust and have to be dependent of mideast oil again or deal with crisis like this.
