Irrefutable Proof of the Fragility of the Internal US Supply Chain
Gas stations roped off. Closed. Out of gas.
Well yeah, a hurricane is coming to our state! This is expected, right?
We are 400 miles away from the coast and this photo was taken 5 days ago!
This was not isolated to one gas station. I drove around to 10 stations over a 15 mile radius. All we’re out.
If this isn’t proof of how fragile and dependent we’ve become on the DRIP of supplies we’re fed on our leashes, I don’t know what is.
Take the necessary steps to secure basic safety and provisions for you and your family. AHEAD OF TIME so you can rest easy while others panic and leisurely snap a photo of the empty pumps instead of raving to find what you (now) desperately need.
Stay prepared, stay safe!

400 miles away? Does everyone think the prices will go up or what’s the rush for?
Many here blamed the local media of hyping up the storm, causing most people to panic buy lots of items. There's been a backlash on social media to the local media now that those same people feel dumb over falling into it.
This comes to mind 😕😣
That is so true!!

Oh wow! Panic buying?
Hope you guys don't cop to much of the storm.
Yep! Panic buying indeed! Local media inflated the possible situation and tons of people flocked to buy! Natural disasters are great for business I imagine... especially when helped by the media!
So it seems. Once sold out, I guess you can also send your workers home, saving in pay too!
