So are "conservatives" now advocating that the government takes over all major pipelines to boost their security? And also admiting that private industry once again fails to do their job for important infrastructure. The company hasn't explained why their pipelines would be so easily crippled by a data ransom. Their also wouldn't be any gas shortage if every maga moron didn't rush to the pumps to fill up. Soft as Charmin Americans think they can't survive a day or 2 without guzzling gas? We still have these crazy things called gas trucks to cover short term supplying. The gas is there just waiting for the morons to turn the pipes back on. We see a pretty stupid trend the last year with lumber, toilet paper, gas, foods, etc. If you tell Americans supply will be low for a bit and to conserve, they all go running out to gobble up everything they can get their hands on and make the problem 10x worse than it should be.
