Short term, for the consumer that sounds entertaining. Long term, I can think of no good outcomes. Stations go bankrupt, government bailouts with money from where? Etc



Going bankrupt is a bit extreme in my opinion. A gas line company was infiltrated and held for ransom last year (Colonial Pipeline), yet they are still up and running. In the end, gas went up a couple of cents nationwide if I recall correctly (might have been limited to the east coast?). Company is still in business. The only people that were really hurt was the Main Street.


Well yeah, I was saying this in a tongue in cheek manner, it would definitely be pretty bad for all those businesses
