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.]

Well, until your last sentence, we are in agreement.
There is no 'my 401k', that disappeared in 2008 with the 'crash'.

That makes 0 sense unless you did not invest your 401K into an Index fund, as all those stocks not only rebounded but also increased year over year.
