Stupidity of man

The word will not end because of some massive natural disaster. No, it will be the stupidity of man that will end us all.

Wait.. human stupidity does come naturally. So does that make it a natural disaster too?

Anyway, two things have happened on this island.

First, there was an islandwide gasoline shortage. Why? Because people listen to rumor and panic!

There is/was a trucker strike because of toll hikes and gasoline prices being through the roof. Some genius said that because nothin is getting delivered, there was not going to be any gas. Everyone ran out and filled up their tanks. Every gas station ran out of their supplies. Leaving a lot of angry motorists and a lot of people without gas.

Then, because people are so susceptible to suggestion, someone somewhere at somepoint said that ATMs would stop working after certain hours. Again, people ran out, took out money, flooded the system and more mayhem insued.

Both could have been avoided had people not run out to get their gas and their money. Shortages created by people.

Damn Puerto Ricans.
