Carbs? nope. Just add bigger injectors!

Yeah, but since lots of people have enough gas to last them for quite some time, demand in the near term future should be lower, allowing the gas stations to restock. At least I would hope so.
Really only uploaded for the bags of gasoline part..

It would be really nice if people would spend few days learning how things are made, supplied etc.
When I was a graduate assistant teaching intro to the American govt. I had students who had no idea that electricity is actually not coming out of the wall bcs. someone was wishing it to come out.
You still believe the news media?
Just wait 'til a nuclear power plant gets hacked and melts down, irradiating thousands of square miles.

The trucker shortage has been known before pandemic and then fuel trucking demand dropped during pandemic so people and trucks moved to other types of freight that are on the increase.
You don't believe anything in the news media? Must be pretty rough.
The sentence is together. It you take one part by itself, there is a shortage, of course there is a shortage. At the pump. The whole sentence it’s not a shortage but a supply problem, together, is correct. The context is not at the pump, but the whole system.
I love someone who understands language. You are spot on!
Too bad a highly paid government official cannot piece together a statement in the proper context, even when they have time to prepare. This "ambiguity" was the core issue, not some outlier that was part of the larger discussion.

On TV this morning they were talking to a representative from AAA, and they said despite the pipeline being reopened, expect gas prices to remain elevated past Memorial Day. There is always some sort of excuse for price spikes. Driver shortage, holidays, ransomware attack, reduction in production relative to demand, shutdown of oil platforms in the GoM, hurricanes, summer formula changeover, winter formula changeover, blah blah blah. 87 octane has been holding steady here at $3.09/gallon for the past several days.
I was at a gas station 70 miles NW of Philly yesterday. It was quiet when I pulled in, and then all of a sudden lines were forming and people were filling up portable gas containers in addition to their vehicles. Passed numerous gas stations on the drive back home and there was no shortage of drivers queued up at the pumps. The media scares people so much they don't know how to react rationally.

That laundry basket picture cannot possibly be real...
Might be staged. If it's a Photoshop, it's a really good one. But then again, people are always coming out with new, innovative, weapons-grade idiocy each year, so this isn't too shocking, IMO.
If you look closely, you can see the plastic bag inside the basket! Pretty smart lady!
