Where do you live? I’m in eastern Loudoun. Most all of the gas stations around here (Sterling/Ashburn area) were completely out of gas late last week. Things seem to be returning to normal now, though.

DP here. So do I and for the record Costco and Sam’s never ran out.

So hire people to do the billing manually until the system is back up.

That takes time. Time is not a week

And they could have done that. There are always manual ways to bill.

WTOP is reporting this morning that over 80% of DC stations are still empty.

So basically the Koch's shut down the pipeline and disrupted lives in the SE and Mid Atlantic because...

Fact it, this is the Koch's, the funders of the right wing. they don't give a crap about the US or its citizens.

And for the people who do need it? Or do you not care about bankrupting small businesses and putting even more stress on low-wage and essential workers?
