#1 That gas originated from wells in "right to work" states. I really wouldn't touch it if I were you.

#2 other emergency responders. That included gas for their personal vehicles, if necessary, so they could get to work.

What do you want to bet that "emergency responders" includes every pissant politician and they're extended families?

Oh, yeah, what are they doing for "work"?

#3 It would seem the military has a good track record of moving fuel into war zones and up into forward operating bases to fuel generators, etc. It's not like the first time we have done this sort of thing. Does bureaucracy forget what its learned after each crisis?

#7 It's an American thing JFM. A weak brew of Commie Simps teaching, angry unionist flavored with a little bit of SCREAMING GLBAMALAIEA lifestyle angst.

#8 When gas rationing occured in the late 70's due to an oil embargo, the public was warned first responders would get priority if things got serious enough, however, it never was implemented. It was considered a last resort, rather than this decision.
