These city slickers would never make it without someone holding their hand. They were told in advance of the

storm and now they are mad because they don't have food, heat, or electricity.

I wonder if they have ever heard of: BE PREPARED! They should take personal responsibility for their

actions. Their problems are self induced. What is so hard about stocking up on the essentials, they had 10

days notice. Now there are in the DEMAND mode.

I hope this is not only a learning experience but a humbling experience for them.

every day will be a nightmare of dislocation and shortages, fights over that last loaf of bread, potato and gallon

It's 1979 all over again, except with more colorful names. All the scoundrels who bought gas in the northern

states 5 days ago, emptying out gas stations where there was no demand, understood how bad it was going to

get. $10 a gallon in New Jersey on the black market by tomorrow, I'll guarantee it. We're going to see $20 a

gallon black-market gasoline before it's over.

Throw away those gas cans, Libs. Start walking. Fossil fuels are the past, and causing global warming. Stop

substantial amount of bottled water, medications, guns / ammunition, and communications equipment. Don't

depend on the government to take care of you. You must be able to take care of yourself and your family. Your

family depends on your ability to provide for them and defend them. I don't want to sound like I'm disparaging

people in the North for their suffering and lack of preparedness. I'm tempted after years of being cast as a right

The only thing more annoying than the gas lines in New Jersey and New York are the ads on Breitbart that play

IT MUST STOP. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ANOTHER "GOT A TOYOTA?" ad OR ANOTHER "YOU'REINVITED TO HEAR SOMEONE PIERCE YOUR EARDRUMS WITH HER ANGEL VOICE" ad.

These ads are making people want to AVOID the sponsors. They have already made me hate clicking on this

website, no matter how interesting the rest of the content is. Throw tomatos at them and NEVER patronize or do

business with them. It is the most disgusting and intrusive form of advertising and it MUST STOP.

Stop it now! Stop it forever! S top it completely! Just stop it! We are HATING YOU because of it. Toyotas are

going to get REAMED because of this. You're causing Toyota backlash. Didn't the federal government already

You just cracked me up. AND you hit the nail squarely on the head. It is too bad that these people

have believed that the gov't will save their fat butts. They do not understand it is their duty to their

families to be prepared for things such as this.

Funny to see all these loud mouth lib tards that have been handed everything their entire life actually have to

make do without someone holding their hand...as in the government...where is Obama....oh thats right still

campaigning....lol.

Stop shipping Non approved fuel to these Libs. Let them fell the real power of the federal government as they

sweat or freeze inline. This is priceless.

Get out the solar panels and windmills......Yea, that will fix it.

Something you people in the North need to learn that all Floridians already know is that you fill up your car and

cans BEFORE the hurricane hits. Make it the last thing you do before you hole up to wait for the storm to pass.After, it's a madhouse, like you're having now. Good luck!!

Yup exactly they were totally unprepared. Amazing how much damage from a Cat1.

I have both cars generator and gas cans full one week before it is supposed to hit. If it misses I just use

the gas in my cars.

We will see how quick the learning curve of the US citizen. They have had four years, and apparently learned

NOTHING!

The Dollar is being devalued at a rapid rate, and there is great effort taken to cover any sign that this is

happening.

NEITHER CANDIDATE IS TALKING ABOUT THE MASSIVE PRINTING OF NEW DOLLARS.

Obama says that things are getting better.

Romney says that we need to cut spending, and reduce taxes.

Obama is outright lying.

Romney is telling the truth, but his plan will not work. It is better than OB's "lying plan".

Plain and simple......We have borrowed too much at every level.....the FED has devalued and lowered rates for

the last 40 years to the point where the ONLY OPTION is to PRINT EVER INCREASING AMOUNTS OF

DOLLARS UNTIL THE SYSTEM BREAKS.

FACTS:

Every dollar is debt.(we owe someone for every dollar created)

We are now buying over 70% of our own bonds because no one else will. (note: we must print more money to

do this)

For an idea of what is coming look at how well creating more debt(issuing more currency, and more bonds)is

working in Europe. Every time they issue more debt the effect wears off quicker. There is ever diminishing

return. It is happening here as well.

Zero percent interest rates DESTROY BUSINESS. Capital is miss priced, and misallocated. There is no pricing

mechanism for capital.

The future holds an ever grinding lower economy where business is pressured. Prices of everything are headed

higher. Slowly at first, and then much faster.

You will see much more of this anger playing out in public, as frustration grows.

You're right, on some things, but for the wrong reasons. The problem, as in all recessions/depressions,

is lack of consumption, caused, in this case, by fear because of the hamfisted actions of the

Obafuhrer. The one thing where you're MOST correct is when you say that zero interest rates destroy

business. It destroys business because it causes fear that even worse times are ahead, if government

is pumping so much money into the economy, that people stop consuming leading to the very thing

everyone fears. And around and around it goes!!! In late 2001, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks,

Bush said the best thing people could do for the country was to "go shopping!" He was excoriated for

that, but he was dead on right!!! Inflation does not follow UNLESS there is a shortage of goods and

services, and that is the last thing we have to worry about, i.e., shortages of goods and services. We

have a shortage of consumers.

If Bush was still President you would have plenty of gas already.

They're learning what all their environmental rules lead to, chaos in case of natural disasters.

I have the deepest sympathy for the individuals and families, devastated by Sandy. God speed and bless.

Now, a question. Having lived in areas under tornado, hurricane alerts, I always filled my car up with gas prior

to the event. What has happened here? Heed the warnings, folks. If it doesn't happen, so be it. But if it does,

at least you are prepared. Don't blame the supplier, they are equally as frustrated as you are!

And, were is FEMA? Where is the Red Cross? Where is Obama (oh, I forgot, he has to go campaign), so

much for his empty rhetoric of yesterday in New Jersey. Guess this is payback for Bloomberg's turndown!

Mags: These people are learning what we in Florida already know, as you say, fill up BEFORE the

event. A hurricane isn't like a tornado or an earthquake, you have plenty of warning of a hurricane,

make use of the time, folks.

I live in Wisconsin and I made sure I filled up my car before Sandy hit, just in case. But I'm just some
