Fuel company issues diesel shortage alert in North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina

Will this be a world wide issue ?

Not that I can see - just eastern US, of course everything follows suit.

Join Cascadia, we’re doing fine here.

We haven’t considered ourselves part of the US for awhile now.

Looks like the US and Canada might just collapse.

Oh, so there's an open discussion between the Cascadia group and the State of Jefferson group, eh?

And yeah, I can honestly see where I live to see the day when nation's map changes. By how much and for what reason(s), time will tell.

How does the Jones Act affect this?

The Jones Act is a 1920 law that limits how cargo is transported by sea. It requires any cargo shipped between U.S. ports to be carried by U.S. ships, with American crews. Originally intended as a measure to support the strategically-important shipping industry, it is now considered a classic example of protectionism.
