Naturally, Americans Are Handling The Gas Shortage Rationally And With Class (20+ Pics)

Is there anything more American than irrationally freaking out over nothing and hoarding products that you don’t actually need and doing so to the detriment of others?

I submit that there is not.

We learned that with the toilet paper doomsday-preppers during the early stages of the COVID outbreak, and we’re learning it again in the wake of a cyberattack that disrupted the southeast U.S. gas pipeline, causing shortages throughout the southeast states affected.

Something about the suggestion of minor inconvenience sends us into a panic, and while understandable to a degree, it’s just not a good sign that we can’t seem to coordinate rational responses to a crisis.
