This article sounds a tad hysterical, but how would we have treated someone two years ago, if he’d claimed that the entire world was about to be shut down overnight?

are we about to be wiped out again?
Biden’s diesel fuel supply crisis could soon cripple America in ways never seen before.
Oil prices and President Joe Biden’s continued draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, but analysts say a more impactful and serious crisis on the energy front looms: a diesel fuel shortage.
Diesel doesn’t get as much of the limelight as oil and gas, but it should because diesel fuel is the industrial lifeblood of the United States, and the price of diesel alone probably has a more significant impact on inflation and the prices you’re paying at the grocery store over any other factor. Without ample amounts of diesel, semi-trucks don’t move, farms are shut down, and critical manufacturing sectors are crippled.
As Bloomberg noted this week, “The US has just 25 days of diesel supply, the lowest since 2008, according to the Energy Information Administration. At the same time, the four-week rolling average of distillates supplied, a proxy for demand, rose to its highest seasonal level since 2007.”
Bloomberg noted:
The diesel crunch comes just weeks ahead of the midterm elections and has the potential to drive up prices for consumers who already view inflation and the economy as a top voting issue. Retail prices have been steadily climbing for more than two weeks. At $5.324 a gallon, they’re 50% higher than this time last year, according to AAA data.
Notably, National Economic Council Director Brian Deese recently commented on the emerging crisis. Deese said diesel inventories are “unacceptably low” and added that “all options are on the table,” whatever that means.
Fortunately, Biden has managed to keep his eye on the prize, and today he invited that makeup spokesman/transgender weirdo Dylan Mulvaney to the White House to instruct the president on what it means to be a woman and a mother.
Dylan is a perfect match for the insanity of our times.
Dylan’s rise to stardom has been meteoric. A few months ago he was an adult male with nobody to celebrate him, but since creating videos of himself pretending to be a female child prancing through forests he has become not just a TikTok sensation, but a cultural icon fit to sit down with the President of the United States.
