As if we didn’t have enough problems in America right now, there are now gas shortages being reported all over the southeastern part of the country.
At least two gas stations in Tallahassee, Florida, were completely out of stock, according to employees who asked not to be named. In Asheville, North Carolina, Aubrey Clements, a clerk at an Exxon Mobil station answered the phone with “Hello, I’m currently out of gas” – BBG

From North Carolina to Florida to Alabama, gas stations are reporting that they’ve sold out of fuel as supplies in the region dwindle and panic buying begins to set in.https://t.co/pgpj4oD88Z

Within a minute of our news car showing up, it was dropped to $3.29. Check it out 👇🏼 Are you paying more at the pump? #GasShortage pic.twitter.com/ghyAnQO7f6

This is a direct result of the supply chain being disrupted because of the pipeline hacking situation.
These lines look like the type of thing we saw during the 1970s.
1979 was a terrible gas shortage.
The Oil Crisis of 1979.
There were lines at the pumps
Some days you could get gas and other days you couldn't, gas rationing. pic.twitter.com/z6nSVEr2yE

Fun times.
The cracks in the foundation of this system are becoming increasingly apparent.
