Lokk at the bright side. A plane has not "crashed into a food processing/distribution center" this week. So far, anyway.

Really? Unanticipated shutdown? This is liberal sabotage.

Any bets on when or where the next 'unanticipated' shutdown will occur? Any bets on what will be the cause? As another poster has reference planes crashing into food distribution centers, don't think they'll use that excuse again.

If I was still willing to do scaffold work...I would certainly sign on for THAT job...12hrs on 12 off/7 days, LOTS of overtime, it's double time after 60hrs, and on all sundays, per diem, travel premium, in one of the highest wage scale locations in the country. A fella could make $100k on this shutdown, and because it is a "National" emergency? They will hire 30% more guys than normal shutdown...many hands makes light work.

Will this be the new version of all of the food processing facilities burning down? What else do the Marxists have in store for us? This certainly won’t help gas prices, then we will have the switchover to “winter blend” which will choke supply.

Sort of like how hundreds of food processing facilities have burst into flames and burned to the ground. Strange huh?

Between this and the food processing plants, the FBI sure seems to be busy. And I dont mean investigating.

Was the FBI sent in to "handle this problem"? The problem, of course, being that the refinery was STILL OPERATIONAL.

Although it has not been proven that all these apparent fires in strategic food, gas and oil refineries are arson, it certainly points in that direction. Now who would benefit from this? Who has an axe to grind? If you want the truth, never involve the FBI. Keep them far away from any fact finding endeavor. By their actions on behalf of the democrat party, that agency would be my first suspect. Apparently the democrat party wants us all freezing in our homes this winter, paying exorbitant prices for gas, and starving to death. That sounds about right when you look back into the history of communist regimes. Their people are victims of their deranged political agenda and millions die. See where we are heading here? Not to mention the fact that these leftists are huge proponents of depopulation. Now that’s just the kind of people you want if genocide is your goal. I can’t say it enough, democrats are evil.

Going to be a miserable cold winter for the midwest states that vote mostly Republican. On top of inflated food prices there will be shortages due to transportation and supply problems and there will be power outages. Time for midwesterners to stock up on food, water, ammo and firewood. The siege begins, the Democrat/Progressive/Marxists are in full tilt Stalin mode. I hope we can stop this BS in November.
