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.]

Dunno about "no news". There was a story on it on the national news saying shortages were expected, then the next day saying there were shortages, then the next day saying prices went up. Did you expect them to break into reruns of Three's Company with a breaking news alert or something?
What got me was the one on prices going up. They showed the new, higher prices. Still $0.50 less than I pay in California. sigh.
