The Colonial Pipeline spill has caused 6 states (Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and North Carolina) to declare a state of emergency. Gasoline (petrol) prices on the east coast are likely to spike. Yet, most puzzling is how this vast emergency and its likely effect on cost of living has gone unnoticed by mainstream media outlets. The pipeline is owned by Koch Industries: is this why the media is silent?
[Are there any Soylentils in the affected area who can corroborate this story? Have you heard of the spill, seen long gas lines, or any price gouging? -Ed.]

> Read Slim's Wikipedia page, note (and note how carefully it isn't openly stated) how plugged into the Mexican government he had to be to pull most of his deals.
Only in jmorris's fantasyland is corrupt government cronyism a sign of being liberal.
Here's a clue for you: Money makes you illiberal, the more money the less liberal you are likely to be because, as the original social justice warrior once said, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
