Gentlemen, ladies, genderblobs, I was angry before - tonight I'm actually getting uneasy. In my part of the country, we don't have gas shortages, unless a small town gets snowed in or a storm blocks a highway or something like that. I have, in all my years, never seen gas stations run out of gas. That doesn't fucking happen here. Not until this week.
Over the past couple days I've noticed station after station closing a couple pumps or running out of everything except diesel and 87, that happens from time to time - I get it. What doesn't happen is gas stations only turning on one or two of the pumps all over the city. What doesn't happen is stations running out of literally everything. Not during Covid, not under Bush, not when Katrina fucked supply lines. I've already been stocking up on food, but I legit didn't think gas would actually RUN OUT anytime soon. Gonna go buy some jerrycans tomorrow morning and start preparing for shortages, cuz they're fucking coming.
