Definitely real - just not in NJ. I have friends in NC and VA that haven’t been able to find gas for the past two days. Hell one of them drove down to Wilmington and is now stranded there until he can find gas.
helps that we have our own refineries and don’t have to rely on thousands of miles of pipeline to bring us refined petrochemicals.
3 out of 4 gas stations are out in my area. People were told not to panic but did anyways.
Setting a nice precedent
Yah the precendent of hiring an incompetent IT director and how backups are really important.
You are right, I forgot that NJ has refineries.
That’s like ultimate way to make everyone panic. People will be completely calm, until someone from the government decides to point out that there is no reason for concern
yes, sadly. Pipeline has been up and running manually since early this week People created a problem with panic buying. Now we have to wait for all these trucks to distribute gas to stations which could last a couple weeks and on top of that gas prices will continue to climb.
Just make us all more reliant on the power grid for the next cyber attack lol
The Russian hackers to the tune of 20% of the $5M ransom paid, likely to an acct controlled by the Russian Gov’t. Funny thing is, they will have obviously left backdoors, so they can likely hack back in whenever they want another payday.
It’s not a gas shortage. It’s an over abundance of stupid.
Wow, this just illustrates the conversation I was having with @spockvr6
He needs it for the generator he uses to charge it
Might be for their other vehicle.
If you need to tow a heavy trailer, EV’s aren’t quite there yet regarding energy storage.
Those cans full of gas probably worth 1k right now
