Wake Up America

 A few days ago, we experienced the result of a Russian Hacking on our Colonial Pipeline, and many Southern States were without gasoline for their vehicles for about 7-10 days in some cases.

Where we live in East TN, we experienced some gas stations closed while others remained open and the lines to wait for gas were minimal.  The main gas station at which we get all of our gas because it is about 7 cents less now has gasoline in plenty of supply.

It reminded me of the gas lines of the 1970's only it was not as severe.

If we had electric vehicle, we would not have been impacted by the Colonial Pipeline shutdown...  but, what the mainstream media idiots do not realized that if the Russian Hackers could shut down the electronics of the Oil People, they will be able to shut down our FRIGGiNG ENERGY GRID which would at that time control our electric vehicles.

Are they stupid or what?

Our future is totally contingent upon stopping the CYBER HACKERS and the current administration seems not to have THE BALLS to do anything about it because they are more concerned with defunding the police for blacks or teaching critical race theory for blacks.

Now, I am not opposed to blacks or their pursuit for happiness but I am against teaching stuff that has little bearing on our society outside of the small white circle of billionaires who regulate the direction of our society.

The ordinary white man does not GIVE A SHIT who is black or white or brown or red or a sliding scale of color variations.

Cops don't hate blacks, but a few cops do hate blacks and that does not justify changing the system because we are experiencing special cause variation instead of common cause variation.

I really do feel sorry for those who are intellectually ignorant and have retained minimal knowledge from their education...  it is really sad...  but our government cannot force idiots to learn.

The Colonial Pipline

This pipeline stretches from Texas and curves around and through the south on it way to New Jersey... and, because it was secured properly was the victim of a hacker attack from a group located in Russia (but not necessarily sponsored by the Russian Government) which shut down oil transportation services to several southern States, including the on that I am living in, Tennessee.

While being online has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages and this is one of those disadvantages which is incidentally impacting millions of Americans.

This afternoon, my wife and I went to a local grocery store that sells gasoline on the side and filled up one of our vehicles along with a contain for our lawn mowers.  Each pump and there were 5 of them had vehicles beside them with 1-2 other vehicles waiting.  In less than 20 minutes, we had gasoline and were on our way.

Returning home, we passed our regular gasoline station, Weigle's and each of the 20 pumps had yellow bags covering the delivery pumps indicating that the entire station was out of gasoline...  this was completely unexpected since a local grocery store was still pumping gasoline.

It is unsure how long this gasoline shortage will last but one thing is for certain, it will cause gasoline prices to increase and that increase will not be reduced anytime soon...  and, because of that increase, the entire US Economy could be headed towards inflation which has not been a problem for almost a decade.

Interestingly, electric cars will be operating off of some kind of an online grid as will all the recharging stations and as the country moves closer and closer to the end of gasoline vehicles we might opened Pandora's Box as we transition from gasoline to electric.

Sometimes life is just a BITCH...
