Russian oil, Hawaii, and the Jones Act screws us again

Hawaiians, more than residents of any other state, will likely see higher gasoline and energy costs due to Russia's Ukraine war and the resulting soaring oil prices...
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led the United States and its European allies to impose severe economic penalties on Russia. But oil is not among the targets, with the Biden administration saying there is no “strategic interest” in further disrupting the global energy supply. 
"We don't have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy," deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. Those sanctions, she said, "would raise prices at the gas pump for Americans," which the White House is "very aware of.".
This is now under consideration.    Some places on the mainland have seen gas prices jump 50 cents over the past week.   I think it's up about 30 cents in East Hawaii.

What kind of mask should I wear while pumping gas? Is it mandatory at all gas stations, or only certain brands?

I would recommend a full helmet and fire proof asbestos suit.  Gas is highly flammable.  Get an electric car to avoid the danger.

Is this a trick question? I mean, come on, everybody knows a 3M™ Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge 6006 is the only way to go. My god, kalakoa, look around you, everyone's wearing 'em!

"Face masks are widely considered an important first-line of defense against airborne transmission of the disease, as supported by previous studies."

Either way, funny.

I would hurry up and fill up whatever mask your wearing. Fill your freezer and pantries too. People are eager for war and the consequences that will come with.
