It’s not gasoline that should worry us; it’s diesel
By Andrea Widburg

During COVID, trucking in America slowed, leaving many shelves empty. However, no matter the madness, there were enough truckers hitting the road for Americans to have food in their stomachs, gas in their cars, and clothes on their backs. However, in less than a month, it’s entirely possible that trucking will become too expensive for many truckers. Why? Because the real emergency isn’t rising fuel prices; it’s rising diesel prices.

This is a story that’s been on the periphery of my mind for several months now but, somehow, there was always something of more pressing importance (or, sometimes, purely amusing interest). However, when you learn that America theoretically has only 25 days of diesel left, you suddenly perk up and start taking an interest.

Some trucks may stop, but the freight trains won't stop unless the diesel fuel literally runs out.

What railroad president is going to issue a statement to wit, "fuel has become too expensive so we're shutting down operations"...?

No problem, truckers can just use Bio-Diesel.

No. 1 or done. Winter is starting here.

Yes,diesel fuel IS waaaay too expensive,but even though that is a serious problem due to the reflected price increases on everything we buy,it is not the BIG problem.

The BIG problem is the availability.

If you think goods are expensive now,just wait until diesel fuel becomes unavailable.

Even the price of gasoline will be affected because gasoline is delivered by trucks running on diesel fuel.

This is, of course, a part of the globalist/communist plan to force everyone into "Khrushchev apartment blocks" in the cities, where  they are easier to control.
