Manufactured crisis right before Memorial Day weekend.
So this will get Biden cover for the increases of already occurred prior to this since he took office. Now he can blame it on cyber terrorist. Maybe these are BLM, antifa, ecoterrorist, in which case they will excuse it as civil disobedience.
You don't suppose it has anything to do with having a clown in the White House and clowns stocking the US Congress and Supreme Court, do you? I mean...it's not like the rest of the world doesn't know.
Remember, back in the day of Orange Man Bad, how the price of crude had fallen at one point below zero?
re: “hackers shut down a major oil pipeline in the US”
Idiots.
They can’t even get what happened correct.
Welcome Back, Carter!
Stupid article on a mainstream news website laughably said prices may go up 2-4 cents or even 6 cents a gallon over the next few weeks.
Bull. There will be rapid increases , gouging and spot shortages with consumers having to drive elsewhere.
Sock Puppet Joe’s policy of shutting down pipelines sure doesn’t help. Fewer pipelines makes a more brittle supply chain that can go out of whack from a single point of failure.
And we seriously do not have anyone at the NSA who can track this down to it’s source?
We need them identified and quickly murdered by whatever formations the government has.
went up at a Shell station near me 20 cents overnight
They were going to be that high anyway regardless of the pipeline hack
Before the illegitimate pResident in the white hut my local gas station had gas at $2.23 9/10 a gallon if you paid cash.
I keep comparing this kind of s*&t to the Trump presidency.
Can you imagine what this bunch of howler monkeys would have done, if this happened in the Trump administration??
Uber, Lyft and all the gig delivery companies are hiring.
This should push earnings and wages negative for some drivers.
For example, DoorDash is still paying $3 per delivery plus suggests a $3 to $5 tip… so $6 to $8 for 30 minutes work before gas takes a huge chunk.
Really?
NSA = NoSecretsAnyway.
It’s Biden’s fault. No cover for him. They blamed everything on Trump, even stuff he had no control over.
So many disasters befalling the US in such a short amount of time.
Coincidence? I think not. Read the book.
That and the ramping up inflation and the lack of truck drivers. I would not be surprised at $8 gas by the end of the year. The Greenies, who now control the White house, want gas to be prohibitive so that we will all run out and buy EVs.
Bad news.
Memory of Carter years: Bad people used to carry plastic siphons, open the gas cap and fill gas cans with somebody else's gas. Then auto parts stores started selling lockable gas caps.
Now nearly all vehicles have a key fob signal to unlock the gas door. Evolution.
