I see we have a problem!
"The Colonial Pipeline said it was working toward a substantial restart of operations by the end of this week after a cyberattack forced it to cease operations on Friday, choking off nearly half of the East Coast’s fuel supply and underscoring the vulnerability of U.S. energy infrastructure to hackers." (Quote from Reuters)
I think step 1 to become unhackable would be to, unplug the company computer from the internet!
Makes me wonder how things worked before the internet!
Well, I pray my east coast brothers and sisters dont get put out too bad from this (or better yet, not at all)!
I also pray they get the fuel flowing fast!
Gas (and diesel) is too high this year as it is. No one needs to punished with even HIGHER prices!
My rant for the day.
Good luck friends!

Re: East coast fuel pipeline
I certainly expect they will use this as an excuse to raise EVERYONE'S fuel prices!
Oh yeah! They will "now have to divert fuel from other locations" and that will incur expenses and other shortages! They'll come up with some kind of justifications for increases!

Thats the typical way it goes!
"The national price at the pump hit $2.985 on Tuesday, the highest level in nearly six years, according to AAA."
(Quote from Cnn Business)
Well, I enjoyed the lower fuel price vacation we had for the last 4 years!
I bought off road diesel last year around this time for $1.25 a gallon.

Just in time, too, for the drive to the Bash!
Sorry, Bob! Guess the plane ticket might not have been so bad...but not now! It's all relative, I guess. At least your doing some important Cub Expressing!!

Already happening.
The question I would like to have answered is which nation-state is behind "Darkside". My money is on Russia.

Re: East coast fuel pipeline
In my area, this is a lesson in how you should never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups. The same idiots that bought up all the toilet paper last year are now in line at the gas station filling up their vehicles, gas cans, tea pitchers, thermos bottles, empty Pepsi bottles, trash bags, and everything else they can find like there'll never be any more.
