Biden declared an emergency in most of the eastern seaboard.
Pipeline still isn't open, unknown when it will. Hold on to your asses, everyone. Here comes $5/gallon gas.. https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2021/05/08/cyber-attack-shuts-down-vital-fuel-pipeline-to-northeast-us/?sh=4170710c3599 Quote: Mary-Ann Russon - Business reporter, BBC News Sun, May 9, 2021, 9:37 PM·6 min read The US government issued emergency legislation on Sunday after the largest fuel pipeline in the US was hit by a ransomware cyber-attack. The Colonial Pipeline carries 2.5 million barrels a day - 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel. It was completely knocked offline by a cyber-criminal gang on Friday and is still working to restore service. The emergency status enables fuel to be transported by road. A total of 18 states have been granted a temporary hours of service waiver for transporting gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other refined petroleum products. They are Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

People will complain when it's taxed, or companies make too much profit.. But a nefarious 'cyber attack'..? They get to blame someone else AND claim to be the victim at the same time.. Too convenient, if you ask me. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

"It’s beyond the pale to throw everyone who is concerned with current events into one basket, but it’s an effective way to set the stage for taking action. As infringement on our right to self-defense have become increasingly unpopular, the confiscationists have pivoted from “stop gun violence” to “save the Republic.”

This is a dry run by an enemy overseas.

They don't have backups of the core systems they can immediately load?

Blame Iran and start a war? *rolls dice* Blame Russia and say it's Trump's fault and start a war in Ukraine? _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Shit is real down there. Not going to be real...
Folks we may soon see the true litmus test in how a population does when they run out of gas... Just imagine losing power too!? If a major power grid goes down. Reports are months to years depending on severity and equipment involved to get it back to normal. |
