Why are people hoarding gas

I feel like this with some people, not gonna lie.

It fills me with great hope knowing you will die some day. Preferably sooner than later.

Bad thing is, I just bought a generator and need gas to break it in and to mow the lawn, cause I'm out. I generally buy 3-4 cans worth...
FairyKingOberon
I'm honestly thankful that I don't know anyone who did this, because I honestly don't know if I could resist the urge to Molotov a garage
FairyKingOberon
Just for the sake of teaching a lesson. Like I want to see something explode because these people were stupid

The funniest part is, the Colonial Pipeline already went back online yesterday, and the supply chain will be back to normal in a day or two.

And worst, the hack wasn't even what took it down - they shut it off, apparently over billing concerns.

A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous creatures.

I know this is a popular quote, but it's false. We've evolved to distribute our ability to reason - what do you think language is for? The >

> reason why "people" are dumb is that that ability has been abused and exploited against us, not because we're better off alone.

Persons can also be dumb though. I seen’t it!!!

Why are people hoarding fuel?
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
Oil company got hacked shutting down pipe line to parts of america.
chine
at this point people are hoarding fuel because people are hoarding fuel. As a country we're not smart about things
Corrodias
Something like 1.5% of fuel stations in a region had a shortage. People, being the apes we are, decided to make it worse.

Thanks!

Same as the TP hoarders, really.

Probably significant overlap in that Venn diagram.

Oh, and PS5 scalpers.

Every week there is one dumbass thing or another. Are...are there really THAT many morons among us?
DorkJedi
did you see the results of the 2020 election? Millions of them.
SingingandDancingInTheRain
dozens, mate. dozens.
Couchwarrior1337
Over 70 million just in America.

For every idiot you see walking around, there are one hundred others you do not.

they are in a line with only the foremost idiot visible?
Cranbananarama
That's dangerously close to showing intelligence.

Yesterday just a few miles from me a guy in a Hummer had just filled 4 five gallon cans then lit a smoke as he was driving away....1/2.
casbott
I wonder if he's the kind of asshole who gives hybrid and electric vehicle owners grief … well used to.
arok
This is a really "red" area so those are safe assumptions, and he wasn't hurt badly. I have super vocal right and left wing Prius customers.
loveisallwereallyhave
That's an H2. Good as new, reay.
Pikkupanda
I believe the psychological term for someone like that is "gaping asshole".
myotheralt
That 20 gallons will get his hummer all of 100 miles.

"...the [injured] person refused transport against medical advice." Not sure if US healthcare issue or just dumb Alabama mindset.
StaticError
Both?
arok
This is Florida, in an area that doesn't get any gas from the pipeline that was hacked. The three stations near me were out of gas yesterday
FelineFatal
You're right, I read "Alabama Ave" and my brain left off the "Ave" part. I suppose my redneck bias is strong.

"You can't access it because we don't respect GDPR"
SomeDetroitGuy
Oh, no! A small, local American newspaper doesn't want to spend the money to comply with onerous foreign laws. The humanity!
Corrodias
It's not onerous. It's just less profitable. The site can make a quick buck selling visitor info to advertisers and has no incentive not to.

"You can't sell people's information without permission" "BUT MUH LIBERTEH"
illogicalphallusies
i mean...they are well within their rights to not give a fuck about euro law
Corrodias
It's more about money. There's no incentive for them to stop selling visitor info; Europeans surely generate negligible traffic.
