Filled up the truck and car yesterday. No lines. Just the price was easily 30 cents higher than it was just a few days ago.

There are reports of gas lines throughout the US today.

Absolute hogwash. No gas shortages anywhere in the USA, including California (which unlike all other states imports its oil supplies).

The pictures and videos I saw posted by others were just AI.

It is getting very tricky to know what's real and what's not, I keep getting fooled myself. You have to 3x check everything these days.

Yeah, I've video's of the USS Gerald Ford being sunk, B-2 bombers being shot down and other crap. Just can't believe anything anymore.

This is the reason that I do not put things out as facts. A few years back, I would state facts a hell of a lot more often.... Not now.

It is going to get worse folks

And offices are telling full tankers at sea to slow down because there is no room in the storage tanks to download the cargo.

Eventually free market supply and demand pricing wins out over what speculators assume will happen.

Are you saying that picture of a T-Rex riding a Great White shark while shooting a M2 may not be real ? You've seen it, right ? You know what I'm talking about ?

If he wasn't using a stabilizing brace for those little arms, I doubt it's real.

You're destroying my entire belief system. I may have to take a closer look at that picture of Nixon shaking hands with little green aliens in front of their flying saucer on the WhiteHouse lawn.
