You're going to blame inflation in the first three months of Biden? Ha!

 Nice stinkbait.

A strawman is a fallacious argument that distorts an opposing stance in order to make it easier to attack. Essentially, the person using the strawman pretends to attack their opponent's stance, while in reality they are actually attacking a distorted version of that stance, which their opponent doesn't necessarily support.

For example, if someone says "I think that we should give better study guides to students", a person using a strawman might reply by saying "I think that your idea is bad, because we shouldn't just give out easy A's to everyone".

Because strawman arguments are frequently used in discussions on various topics, it's important to understand them. As such, in the following article you will learn more about strawman arguments, see examples of how they are used, and understand what you can do in order to counter them successfully.

Daughter said line wasn't too bad at the gas station at USMC Base Quantico, only took her a half hour to get filled up.

She told me her friend who is at Camp Lejeune in NC said base gas stations are out of gas.

This is gonna be a royal shitshow before it's over.

IDK what the ransomware demanded $$$ wise, but the fuckers that run the pipeline shoulda just paid it.

Biden isn't a hero but you guys throwing him under the bus for the same shit Trump was doing is haha hoho

But never mind the last four years of Trump giving away money to corporations, and his 10 months of stimulus and unemployment benefits

But if Trump were still president, imagine the outrage from the media and yourself... the name calling would be deafening!!!

and where is the media now? calling everyone out except the commander in chief!!

I don't know about you guys but when that pipeline stopped I immediately felt the temperature drop 1/10 of a degree.

Come on man, follow the science.

Loosers!!!

But I managed to stack everything in my bedroom closet. WHEW !! It smells a Little but if I keep the doors closed its not too Bad.

from the story I read that those behind it haven't posted claims about it and that it means they are in negotiations or it has been paid

From what little I know about ransomware, the advice from security experts is just to pay the ransom and beef up security after. Those running the ransomware are running a business. They research their victims. They know what it will cost them in time and dollars to get around the virus and set their price accordingly. Set the price too high and nobody pays, too low, you can't cover your expenses.

at this point a rerun of the Carter years is a best case scenario

We got hit with ransomware about 5 years ago
A user noticed his network personal user drive was getting password zipped
He notified IT who immediately shut down the networks and  prevented further encryption
The ransom ware was removed and the encrypted folders were purged and resorted from backup
It happened towards the end of the day so they sent us all home
IT had a long night but everything was back up the next morning.. no harm done.
