Can anyone hate this country so much and the people more so and still live here? Go where they do things like this. Are they afraid to live in those countries?
So now they are saying 25 days of diesel left. How many truckers drive diesel trucks?
They do not care if people starve.

I don't know either. If Alec Baldwin had kept his word and left like he promised when Trump was elected that woman might still be alive. 🤷♀️
I hadn't heard too much of the diesel outage, my trucker son hasn't mentioned it. I guess he and his convoy team are too busy laughing at California and their soon 18-wheeler ban.
Btw, they are currently hauling a bunch of piping to some big oil field.

Nothing happens by accident. Rabid leftist conniving? Yes. Internationally influenced narratives? Yes. Stupidity? Another yes.
Sort of like the baby formula shortage, whoever started that ball rolling had to know the outcome, or, maybe they were so wrapped up in their power high they didn't care.
Hey, I've got an idea! Let's stop drilling and fracking, pressure the banks not to loan to energy companies, stop auctioning productive leases for exploration, and maybe even write regulations that put refineries out of business. What could go wrong?

What has just gone wrong. But it can’t hurt anyone so why bother … let the good times roll.

Looks LIKE WE ARE gonna have to find out "what could go wrong"....so buy a box of $49 popcorn, sit back and watch the action.
I recently told my friend who had just called me a "climate denier" that he is about to learn a lesson about cause and effect and another about supply and demand.
Trump was no genius. Anybody else could have fixed all of the same stuff....if that person had the testicular fortitude that Trump had.....certainly the path towards prosperity and plenty has always been clear ahead of us. ,,,,,but to the liberals it is the path to Hell......Joe

A very brilliant friend of mine posted this today:
“Home heating oil is lumped in with diesel for government purposes. The shortage is more on the home heating oil side rather than diesel. That's bad, but not as bad as running out of diesel. There will be a whole lot of cold people in the northern tier states, but they will still be able to buy food and gas their cars.
After a deep dive and several calls to people I know working tank farms, it looks like the home heating oil will run out long before the diesel. Cold can be somewhat mitigated by electric space heaters etc, but if the diesel drys up, it's game over for the countries economy.” So if I had a heating tank NOT filled to the brim with oil, I would get it topped off now.

Sometimes it's hard to find out the real cause of what's happening in all sorts of markets today. Last year, I posted some facts about the supposed "lumber shortage" that caused prices to TRIPLE in the stores. Most of what was being reported was absolutely false - a hoax. Earlier this year I was looking into fuel prices and supposed "supply problems" that were being blamed for higher prices and something caught my eye about where a lot of our diesel, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. was being refined at and then IMPORTED back to us. One of the major places? Russia and its neighboring countries. Now I just found this little gem, with the exact same story line as the fake lumber shortage. In other words, brokers manipulating the Futures market.

The U.S. normally has about a 32-day supply of diesel fuel. 25 days is not great, but not a huge problem except for high prices. Heating oil is what would have me concerned.

I love the people, and I hate their behaviors. I am SO sick of the media fear mongering. I am SO sick of the government not serving the people. God Bless the USA, or what's left of it.

laurazone5, hear, hear! I'm sick of the whole shebang. Media, the politicians, all of it. Seems like it would make more sense to fire them all and start over, fresh.
