My POV as a low level finance guy:
The gas thing isn’t an issue. It’ll be corrected within a week or two as it truly is not a supply issue.
Inflation is my main concern and it is complicated by the supply chain disruption which acts as a multiplier.
Some inflation numbers will come out tomorrow and then monthly (obviously) afterwards. The supply chain issue will peak toward the end of this year. If inflation doesn’t go too wild by the end of the year we’ll return to a “regular” cycle. If inflation starts going wild the fed will have to at least say something that spooks the market and potentially do something which will be the equivalent of tossing the anchor on the economy.

You forgot to mention that transportation on the Mississippi River is now halted. Feds are going to have to step in on this. I don't see how Tennessee alone has the authority to halt all river traffic?

I have been saying market crash by the end of summer or early fall and I stand by it. Start growing vegetables and store can goods and stock your freezer.

I feel this gas shortage is an orchestrated distraction from the fraud being uncovered in Maricopa County. The timing of it is no coincidence.

Look up Lou Pai of Enron. He got a divorce a few months prior to their collapse. Divorce settlement required him to sell off about $250M. He was the only exec that was allowed to keep the money from selloffs prior to Enron's demise.
Wait? You think that was some sort of scheming by Pai that Bezos and Gates are now trying to duplicate?
I guess all the players were REALLY committed including the stripper Pai knocked up and the PI his wife hired to deduce his real net worth (more or less what forced him to self off) before filing for divorce.
None of this, by the way, is referred to as the "Enron loophole."

The pipeline is back in action.
IF shortages occur it will be due to a lack of workers. Too many people staying on UE because they are making more not to work, than they will make working.
They were saying this morning that the Atlanta area actually has a good supply of gas in storage tanks, but the shortage of truck drivers is what was keeping it from getting to the stations.
Even with the pipeline back flowing, if you can't get the product to the stations, it is going to continue to be an issue.

What is this
The Enron loophole had to do with energy derivatives trading. It had nothing to do with insider trading nor did it have any bearing on Lou Pai's "good fortune."
It's beyond silly to draw a comparison between Pai and Bezos. Pai got lucky because it's pretty hard to pin insider trading charges on someone when they get can point to a divorce settlement as the catalyst for a major sell off in their stock holdings.
Here's the difference: Pai actually sold off his Enron shares and settled with his wife in cash. Most of Mackenzie Bezos' wealth is tied up in Amazon shares, meaning there was no prior sell-off. Jeff Bezos still holds a whole lot of Amazon stock. Wouldn't do much good to point to a divorce to defend yourself against insider trading charges if you didn't actually...sell off. If they were trying to use the Lou Pai "scheme" as alleged by the poster, they did a very poor job of it.
Do yourself a favor and don't take things at face value from posters on here.
