Just when you thought government could not get more screwed up, enter Sonny Perdue the illustrious man in charge of Georgia. Honestly, do we have to wait over two hours for gas? Should there even be a gas shortage in this area? The answer to both questions is a resounding no. However, as per the norm, our intrepid leader waited until crisis time prior to taking action and, lied to the media about the action he did not take.
Apparently, we here in Georgia are required by the EPA to use “boutique” fuel because our pollution is terrible. As such, we have limited areas where we can acquire said fuel. The Georgia government boys responded properly after Katrina and requested a temporary lift of the fuel guidelines. The result was only one or possibly two days of complete chaos. One would think with the state Texas is in the same logic would have been applied in this situation. However, it has now been about two weeks of the insanity and Perdue only filed the appeal YESTERDAY!
I would probably bitch a little bit less if we here in Metro-Atlanta actually had public transit options. Some of us do but most of us in the Burbs are screwed. We do not even have the option to walk or ride without increasing our life insurance policies. Nevertheless, fear not, our local government is planning to spend billions of dollars adding lanes to our current infrastructure. I do not think I would mind increased taxes if I had options that did not involve gas.
Do not think too much…that will make them appear even more screwed up. Baaaaaa
