This is intentional. The Democrats are on a rampage to destroy America.
Diesel fuel shortages will disrupt the entire US transportation supply chain. Not only do the trucks run on diesel but so do trains. Airports get their jet fuel by trucks. Think about that. That means gasoline, food, Thanksgiving and Christmas supplies all will get disrupted. Delivery of home fuel oil supplies by truck will be impacted. Think supply chain shortages were bad before, you ain’t see nuthin yet. And it will hit after the election.
Our only hope is to stop the treasonous Democrats from routing the will of the people through election fraud….. again.

Get out and vote. Overwhelm the system. This is the last election before the final assault of the left destroyers.

US Has Only 25 Days of Diesel Supply; Shortage Could Cripple Economy
By: Jack Phillips, Epoch Times, October 24, 2022:
The United States is down to 25 days of diesel supply as a top White House official declared the stockpile levels to be “unacceptably low.”
Data provided by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) show that diesel stockpiles are at their lowest level for October in records that date back to 1993, according to a Bloomberg News analysis. EIA data show that the United States, as of Oct. 14, has 25.4 days of supply—down from 34.2 days of supply four weeks prior.
National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, a top adviser to President Joe Biden, told Bloomberg News last week that current diesel levels are “unacceptably” low and that “all options are on the table” to increase supplies.
The diesel crunch comes just over two weeks before the November 2022 midterm elections and will likely drive up prices even more. Diesel is the fuel used by freight trains and commonly used by long-haul truckers to transport goods and food.
“Most of the products we use are transported by trucks and trains with diesel engines, and most construction, farming, and military vehicles and equipment also have diesel engines,” the EIA’s website states. “As a transportation fuel, diesel fuel offers a wide range of performance, efficiency, and safety features. Diesel fuel also has a greater energy density than other liquid fuels, so it provides more useful energy per unit of volume.”
Prices, meanwhile, remain relatively elevated, according to AAA data. The average price for a gallon of diesel stands at around $5.33 nationwide, or up nearly $2 since the same time in 2021, the data shows.
Wholesale diesel prices at the New York spot market spiked last week to more than $200 per barrel.
It comes as the Biden administration recently announced it would release another 15 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, part of the 180 million Biden authorized in March, that Republicans say is a bid to keep Democrats politically afloat ahead of the midterms. But Biden and his allies say that it’s not a political tactic, and the administration says it will refill the reserve when prices drop to $67–$72 per barrel.
“The United States government is going to purchase oil to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve when prices fall to $70 a barrel,” Biden said on Oct. 19. “And that means oil companies can invest to ramp up production now, with confidence they’ll be able to sell their oil to us at that price in the future: $70.”
The move came after the International Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus (OPEC+) announced that it would cut oil production.
“Now, after draining our emergency reserves to a 40-year low, Democrats want billions more of taxpayer dollars to refill the [Strategic Petroleum Reserve] at more than double the price,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told the New York Post last week. “This is a direct attack on every single American struggling to fill their tanks and heat their homes.”

This is planned. Their agenda is to cripple us.

Diesel fuel is essentially chemically and physically the same thing as #2 heating oil. The only real difference is that the motor fuel excise tax is paid on Diesel fuel meant as an on-road motor fuel. Diesel fuel, as refined, is clear. An excise tax is paid on the clear fuel, so that it may be sold at fuel stations throughout the country as a motor fuel. Red dye is added at the refinery to Diesel fuel intended for off-road use such as in tractors, generators and other non-transportation applications. Similarly a blue dye is added at the refinery for Diesel fuel that is used in governmental vehicles such as post office trucks and military vehicles. I do believe that #2 heating oil is also colored red.
If there is a Diesel fuel shortage, that is because there is a shortage of crude petroleum in general, because with catalytic cracking the refineries can make whatever percentage of gasoline #2, #4 and #6 heating oils and other components that they desire. And with the price of Diesel so high, that should be a preferred product over gasoline, so the refineries will cut the percentage of gasoline to ensure that they can supply Diesel.
With that said, we have a general petroleum shortage because Brandon did everything in his power to first stifle domestic production of petroleum and by doing so, played right into the hands of OPEC by ensuring that there is a limited supply so that OPEC can charge the monopoly price for their crude oil. Historically, there has been infighting among OPEC members on which ones cut production to reach the monopoly price on the demand curve. But Biden did their work for them and took out our oil production, leaving OPEC with essentially nothing to do to ensure that their profits are maximized. Let’s Go Brandon!

If the Trucks stop rolling within 48 hours you will have no milk or bread in the Supermarket, after 72 hours you will have no Gasoline, within 5 days the Stores will be empty, the Gas Stations will be empty, everything will come to a complete stop. even the Trains as the Trucks bring the Goods to the Trains who take them as far as Indianapolis and then the Goods are offloaded to a Truck again as there are no Train Tracks behind Walmart or ANY Shopping Mall.
So, Trucks stop… America stops…

Diesel fuel will not just run out, but rather there will be Diesel shortages that will trigger high Diesel prices and make deliveries of low margin commodities, where transportation costs are a significant percentage of the sale price, such as milk, economically impractical at the current milk price. So prices of these heavily transportation dependent items (basic groceries fit this bill) will jump a high percentage of their original price. Milk, eggs, and most staple food products have a relatively inelastic demand curve, so people will buy eggs and milk and bread, even if the price doubles. [As an aside, I was paying $1.29 per dozen of Grade AA extra large eggs under Trump, but now those same eggs are over $4.00 per dozen and well over $5.00 per dozen in Manhattan.]
Soon all retail prices will rise to a level where demand meets supply, triggering explosive inflation. Our whole society is energy based, and cheap oil and natural gas make for low retail prices across the board. Conversely, high energy costs result in massive inflation and a lower standard of living for all. Biden’s response will predictably be “all the retailers have to do is lower prices.” [I kid you not, he said this about gasoline prices–motor fuel, being one of the most competitively priced, lowest profit margin items on the market.
Lastly, while runaway inflation hurts us all, it hits the marginal wage earner extra hard. If an upper middle class person has to dispense with a vacation to meet his grocery bills, he will be displeased. But, if someone who is earning $40,000 and was self-sufficient under Trump, has to pay for increased grocery prices, increased rent, and increases in transportation costs, it will put him over the edge and end up on food stamps and housing vouchers. Biden and his fellow Democrats is the ultimate disgrace to this country.

For those who do not know …. JP8….. jet fuel …… is, basically, kerosene …… which is, basically, diesel #1.
Heard it again today …… “kill a democrat to save the country”
I do not advocate the killing of anyone, at the moment, except the LAWFUL EXECUTION OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR TREASON.
Our Founders knew, they killed the “Agents of the King”
Imagine if our Founders had listened when they were told “violence has no place here”.

The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.
From his wrecking the economy of the United States with is socialist economics he keeps attempting to push on the United States and his always striving against the American free enterprise system. As seen in his shutting down the much needs oil pipeline and at the same time causing many American workers to lose their much needed jobs and likewise creating a drastic rise in the price of gas.
The true “measure” of Biden on America regarding fuel costs as well as on many other important subjects is nothing less than a horrendous economic catastrophe.

The words “Stop the inflation” really mean “Stop Joe Biden and those hiding “behind the curtains “who uphold and manipulate their puppet “President” Biden to achieve all their sinister goals
The bad economy is because of Joe Biden with is socialist economics meddling and interfering in and destroying the American free enterprise system
For Biden is the epitome and personification of America’s economic disaster in the United States.
High prices for fuel and the gas station are terrible, and still prices are growing higher. Things will get worse – “thanks” to Biden.
All because of that awful Biden with his socialist economics, he is a disaster for both America and the American people.
That fiend Biden worked against the American oil industry and likewise shut down the American oil pipeline therefore costing US citizens to lose their much need jobs. All of this has to be part of Biden sinister scheme to make the United State dependent on foreign oil.
Biden is, truly, a traitorous treasonous villain.

Joe Biden is responsible for the terribly high cost of gas with his constant socialist meddling and interfering in the American free enterprise system is only harming America and the American people.
Likewise “President” pretender Biden when he shut down the Northern oil pipeline industry causing many American workers to lose their much need jobs is a disaster but to make this terrible situation even worse this results to two awful related things.
It made the United States once against dependent on foreign oil and likewise this added to the already rising prices fuel at the gas station.
That subversive horrible Biden and those “behind the curtains.” Who uphold their stooge in the Office of the US Presidency must have insidious sinister subversive intentions.
They have Biden as their tool for the degradation and debasement of the United States in the Red/Green agenda.
They are a dangerous as they are also despicable.

Joe Biden with his constant socialist meddling and interfering in the American free enterprise system.is wrecking the economy of this nation.
Biden even destroyed the business of that northern oil pipeline causing many American workers to lose their much-needed jobs. Likewise making the United States once again dependent on foreign oil.
That was one of many factors that contributed high price of gas ..
It was reported on the news the this very high price of fuel. cost men driving trucks for a living so spending as much a one thousand dollars to fill up the gas tanks of their truck, causing many of them to go out of business thus losing their jobs. This is one reason foe high food prices and barren shelves at the grocery market.
Related to this is that by Biden pushing and even attempting to force socialism of the United States economic system also inflection at the grocery store and because many empty shelves, People never saw empty shelves during the Trump administration.
This Bogus US “President” must be deliberately attempting to harm this nation. What a treasonous villain he is.
Other villains who,” behind the curtains,” are other treacherous dangerous villains who use this puppet “president” as their useful idiot and tool as one of their weapons against America.

Brandon’s plan is to turn the country, formerly known as the United States of America, into a pre industrial hunter/gatherer economy. And he’s succeeding beyond anyone’s expectations.
Still being taken to camp by his “Weekend at Bernie’s” act? Don’t be. He is as subtle as a serpent, as deadly as a snakes hiss.
