National average gas price just hit $3.02 per gallon.
I'm suspicious of what's going on at Colonial Pipeline. Usually at a time like this, there would be a company spokesperson talking to reporters and trying to reassure the public. But we are hearing nothing except third hand reporting and occasional statements from government agencies.
I think there is an active negotiation going on with the criminals. Otherwise, they would be telling us that they got their data back and are working to resume normal operations. Or they would tell us that they refused to pay the ransom and they are working to resume normal operations after restoring data from backups.
It looks to me like this is far from over.
