Same Behavior, Different Panic
Why does the gasoline shortage in Memphis not surprise me?
Keep in mind that when a single snowflake is predicted to fall within 50 miles of Memphis people panic and raid every store for batteries, kerosene, water and canned food.
So we're creating our own shortage and I can't even begin to speak of the general intelligence level of the people of this area.
"At a press conference Thursday Shelby County Mayor A.C. Wharton said the gasoline panic is isolated to Memphis and West Tennessee."
To paraphrase Wharton: "Yep. Par for the course."
