Wonder if inside job?

Colonial Pipeline's owners are

Koch Industries (a.k.a. Koch Capital Investments Company LLC, 28.09% stake ownership)[/quote]

Sounds like something they would do.

I'm really confused at why so many people need so much gas right now. We've been using one tank every two to three weeks, at most, during the pandemic.

Think FOX has really gotten the dummies to panic to make a one week situation stretch out. [/quote]

People don't need more gas now. As soon as the pipeline hack news broke, people started buying gas regardless of need. The gas shortage is caused by panic buying only. [/quote]

No. Service vehicles usually don’t drive around with full tanks of gas daily. However, since their jobs and businesses rely on their service vehicles being able to reach the customer, those vehicles are filing their vehicle tanks. Regular consumers are filling their vehicle tanks. Regular consumers- not the people in the two photos shown, who are clear outliers- don’t have storage for hoarding gasoline or the extra money for buying large quantities of gasoline.

People are panicking because there is a shortage. There is not a shortage because people are panicking. The pipeline that supplies the entire east coast is offline. [/quote]

The pipeline was shutdown last Saturday. It will likely be up again by the weekend. The U.S. does keep small amounts of gas in reserve. The gas is gone because people bought it when they didn't need it because of the hack. [/quote]
