Memorial Day Weekend

John Mercier · 05-26-2022, 04:49 PM

An analyst was pointing out this morning that the Colonial Pipeline is full to the brink and would need the federal government to rescind/repeal, or at least waiver, the Jones Act.
She didn't feel this would happen as it was last tried just a few years ago.

Her thoughts, the analyst, was that President Biden may do something on heating oil and diesel this fall before the elections. That doing it right now would just trigger further consumption leading to higher inflation rates.

He did it during the period that the Colonial was hacked, so there is some precedent.

Loved the article. Is anyone surprised a group of Senators didn’t know what they were opposing? Oh well!

On a brighter note - Thank you to all those who fight, and give their lives to give us the ability to argue with each other on this forum. My special thanks to “The Greatest Generation”, including my father, for their valor, bravery, and selflessness. God bless the men & women of our armed forces!
