Reporting in from north GA. It's real here. Gas stations are running out of gas, but I was still able to get gas at a large chain station. Now, if it's just the whole idea that everyone is panicking and filling up or a real shortage I can't tell you. Had to pass 3 stations to get gas and the trucker station off my exit has a line backed up onto the highway.
Also, I worked for a company that sold and maintained valves on an industrial scale. Company was a subsidiary of Emerson. Those lines aren't on the network. We built command and control systems for them that automates the valves and you could not even bring a cell phone into the same room as the server. You can't even plug a USB into them. They are usually built and tested before going to the site and then no network access at all. The computers used while in maintenance mode are provided by the gas company's IT department. They control everything so this has to be a logistics attack.
I did some technical consulting at business in Washington D.C. back in 2003 where big portion of the Internet backbone is run our of. I had to work in a area with glass walls, like a fishbowl with serious guys with guns looking at every move I made. When I had to go to the bathroom, I had an armed escort who would go inside the bathroom and stand there until I did my thing, and then escort me back to room.
I live in Louisiana. Gas is fine here. No one in my area is panicing. I'm not sure what to believe. Usually my MAGA father in law would tell me to stock up for a month by now but hasn't.
Loving in a Gulf Coast State has it's priveleges. I live in FL, and we get most of our fuel straight from the rigs. Just like y'all, Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Your tell me that the Oil Rigs have there own refining capability? I don't think so. Oil rigs produce Crude. The Crude goes to a refinery via pipeline or rail, then from refinery to a Rack, or Jobber, them is distributed to a supplier that has a contract with oil company, or someone who buys unbranded fuel, in other words any fuel that is available at lowest negotiated price. These suppliers, for example Sam's, Cosco, or independent can usually get lower prices. From what I was able to read, this is how is works .
Every station I drove by here had lines out to the street. But they have gas and haven't jacked up the price yet. If the people wasting gas would just go home and park it, there wouldn't be so many cars in line.
What do you think these lines of cars are doing? Filling up and doing laps around town? These types of comments always confuse me. Sure let's hope people aren't wasting gas during a crisis but wtf makes you think folks are just wasting gas like it's still the 70's and cruising is the new hotness?
People are driving for no good reason. I have neighbors who are in and out all day long. I think they go to the store every time they want a beer or a pack of cigarettes or a hamburger. They can't buy enough to last a week like someone with some sense.
I don't do that. I already have gas in my car. I might need to fill it up again in June. I might have to buy some TP by the end of the year.
I feel ya on the beef shortage. I've been doing keto for a bit now, and one of my meal preps for work lunches includes a 90% lean 1/4 lb burger patty. Now, over the course of the "pandemic", my typical brand patties have been hard to come by. Kroger's was always out or had a couple packages left (I buy 16 patties for the week), and the same with Walmart.
Last week, the Kroger's freezer was packed full of packages.

Toilet paper, anyone?
There is gas. This gas shortage is engineered by the New World Order.
Surely there is a way for all those packages bought/hoarded during the Great TP Rush of 2020 to convert them to fuel.. Carbon is carbon...

Straight from the rigs? Unless cars in Florida run on unrefined crude oil I can’t see how that works.

I’m in GA (OTP for any ga peeps) and stations are running out, or already out
