We are getting a state of emergency over the gas down here. It’s simple....there wasn’t any solid gas crisis by the pipeline being down up to a week. But, the fear of a gas shortage have made the sheep scurry (I’ve seen pics of a trunk full of plastic bags loaded with gas) to hoard the gas, and that creates at least a temporary shortage. People are morons.
At least our states emergency order isn’t suspending the gas tax like they did in GA. If you’re trying to quell and illogical run on a commodity how does making it cheaper in the short term help that? I don’t understand that.
So, now we have a situation that’s not really creating a shortage turning into a shortage out of fear of their being a shortage.
