Biden’s America: Federal Government Agency Warns Against Hoarding Gasoline in Plastic Bags
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning to Americans against hoarding gasoline in plastic bags in response to some people taking extreme measures during the sudden gas shortage in southeastern states reportedly caused by ransomware computer hackers attacking a major gas and oil pipeline company, Colonial Pipeline. The USCPSC is an independent federal government agency.
The warning may have been prompted by this (two years old) video that went viral Tuesday showing a woman filling a plastic shopping bag with gasoline at a Kroger station:
Oh, shit. #gasshortage? Better pick up a couple extra bags. pic.twitter.com/a09ue2eQfK
