All of which require an outside source for energy controlled by some type of cyber IT. When that gets hacked or shut down. You and I will be up the creek with only a paddle.

Think about this on a larger level, not just about you. Such an "shut down" event could waste the economy of the nation and who knows what else. Such things do start wars.

They never let a crisis go to waste. I fully expect an event to create an enemy of another people instead of the elites running us into the ground that deserve to get the blowback.
The federal reserve currency is cooked. We're on borrowed time. Something dramatic will be conjured for us to focus on. Civil war?

I expect things will mostly go back to 'normal' sooner rather than later.
I don't see war (civil or otherwise) and doubt retail prices will climb much over $3/gal and even that increase will be short lived and limited tospecific geographical areas not served by Plantation Pipeline.
Regulation of some kind regarding crypto-currency may rear it's head again but I doubt that will go very far.
I do wonder how much ransom darkside's affiliates were demanding tho.

As always, the fuel already in the pipe will have it's price increased immediately. Then the 'scarce' fuel will result in an additional immediate price increase but when it all settles out and things get back to normal, it takes months if not longer for prices to decrease.

We can always hope for political gridlock, and that stupid policies adopted by "private" companies don't have an affect.
