After ages of being stuck in lock downs [while TPTB are gallivanting] and being told not to visit family and friends on holidays, now people can't afford to visit family and friends [gas prices hitting pockets].
TPTB will fly on their private jets to visit family and friends while they talk about global warming and an energy crisis that cannot be avoided.
The "government" of Sleepy Joe [the enemy within] could announce that the U.S.A. is going on a fuel production rampage and oil prices would drop over night.
