and there is rub, or at least part of it.
If you got gas at one of those stations it is because it was open.
being open cost an employee even when no one show up which in a sparsely populated area is usually. The only rational response is to limit hours.
now you have a condition where people over a wide area are being blocked from being able to buy gas when ever they want like the people in the city who are preventing them just take for granted.
These paper cuts accumulate add in some divisive propaganda and here we are.
