(914 posts)Thats the panic problem.
An overwhelming majority of FL is just fine. No shortage here in west central Florida. Very little of FL has anything to do with the pipeline that is now up and going.
No one on the left should be aiding the panic outside of those needed to sustain through it. Its the absolute perfect time to do nothing but put forward a message of energy security and infrastructure. If it makes the right feel more comfortable, call it protectionism.
Too many good natured people are going to pay a price for the panic.
While it might sound like Im being a bit of a jerk I do understand it. Emotion overtakes logic during extended durations of crisis and stress. My heart does go out to those panicking. I dont minimize that very personal aspect.
BTW, great job by a lot of people opening up public transit for free during this.
