It's more complicated than that, as much as we all love to hate on capitalism. Billing systems have things like customer records and addresses in them, and were part of what became inaccessible. So even if we had immediately nationalized the infrastructure and ordered Colonial to give away all of the gasoline for free, they would have to rebuild the list of where to even send the gas before it could get flowing.

It's a pipeline, I think they know which customers are sucking on their pipeline without a billing spreadsheet. :smug:

Were there any actual supply shortages or was this entirely caused by algorithm-crazed floridians.

There was no shortages. They just stopped supplying gas to make sure they got paid for it.

There was a shortage at the final retail point of sale, and that meant all the same boomers who would lecture AOC about how she doesn't understand basic economics are now buying gas at retail markups with no way to safely store it nor use it before it goes bad.

It’s not a shortage unless it comes from the shôrtáge region, otherwise it’s just sparkling panic buying

They don't care, they paid $5 million dollars but are probably going to make $100 million dollars because the demand went up for the gas and now they can charge more for it and they are going to take their time lowering the gas prices back...

Probably did it themselves ;-)

I feel like these people will no doubt use this gas in the next two weeks one way or another, but it’s the absolute stinginess that makes me laugh the hardest. So intensely worried about gas, but not enough to go buy a gas can or other receptacle. There have been numerous articles about cars burned to the ground from it. astounding

It doesn't go bad if you put the plastic bag in your fridge or freezer.

False. There is only one electron and it has never stopped
Would anyone inform me how people (plan to) utilize the gas stored in plastic bags?

I realize that the comedy option is that they explode long before you might use them. But let's say for some reason they don't. What now? Pour it using a funnel into the one proper container you own, and then into your car?

Just lift the bag up to the receptacle and snip a corner off with scissors. Preferably while enjoying the relaxing taste of Marlboro
