She suddenly becomes as frosty as an orange slush and you have no idea what arouse her wrath.
Fuggetaboutit..
This issue started as follows:
President Biden's Executive action of Day one in the office. Cancelling the Keystone Pipeline and the continue with his promise of "No drilling, Period". The prices started going up to twice what it was.
At this time Inflation started going up and nothing this administration has to show for to the American people, then the war of Russia/Ukraine started, we cancelled the Nord Strom 2 pipeline- followed by the various sanctions on the Russia oil sale.
Then came the opportunity of fueling the Russia/Ukraine war with more weapon to the Ukraine.
The prices of oil went up again so is the prices of food and the Inflation among other major problems. Just a thought.
Bad results..
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have concluded that lockdowns have done little to reduce COVID deaths but have had “devastating effects” on economies and numerous social ills.
The study, titled “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality,” said lockdowns in Europe and the U.S. reduced COVID-19 deaths by 0.2 percent.
“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote in the report, issued Monday.
The study concluded that lockdowns “are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
“They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report said.
The study was written by Jonas Herby, Lars Jonung and Steve H. Hanke of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health and the Study of Business Enterprise.

Yellen..
Administration is in Desiree. Covering up on the well known inflation and call it transitional.
Then a year later it is a full blown inflation which is difficult to control and it will cause tremendous pain and suffering to most of the American people.
Add to this our Sanctions against the Russian people, weaponizing the economic activities, that is fueling the shortage of food, and energy around the globe including Baby formula.
While most of these problems are man made by executive orders, no is responsible for it.
Yellen from the mountaintop. "Till us the truth"
"IS" is..
Some countries have Dictatorship leaders and others have Democratically elected officials. But what they do to get elected, in this case "Is"
Some mix and match.

Backfire...
European Union leaders agreed to cut Russian oil imports by about 90% over the next six months, a dramatic move that was considered unthinkable just months ago.
In addition to retaining some European markets, Russia could sell some of the oil previously bound to Europe to China, India and other customers in Asia, even though it will have to offer discounts.
Matteo Villa, an analyst at the ISPI think tank in Milan, said Russia will take a pretty significant hit now but cautioned that the move could eventually backfire.
“The risk is that the price of oil in general goes up because of the European sanctions. And if the price goes up a lot, the risk is that Russia starts to earn more, and Europe loses the bet,” he said.
Moscow seized on the new sanctions to try to rally public support against the West, describing it as bent on destroying Russia.
Rescinded..
When Joe Biden took office, the average cost for a gallon of gasoline was $2.46 – the price was $3.44 on December 6; a 40% increase. The president and Democrats in Congress should recognize that their policies are damaging our economy and causing pain for American families. They need to reverse course immediately.
On his first day in office, President Biden rescinded the presidential permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have moved 830,000 barrels of crude oil each day. Days later, he banned new oil and gas leases on public lands and federal waters, saying the program needed review.
The Department of the Interior subsequently concluded that fees on American energy producers should be raised to “deliver a fair and equitable return to American taxpayers.” These fee increases are designed to lower interest in the leases, thus depressing supply and causing consumer prices to rise even higher. If energy companies decide to pursue leases and pay the rate increases, the higher costs will just get passed on to American families.
Prices of a gallon of gas now is $5. Just a thought.

Smog..
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an emergency air-quality waiver through June 6 to boost supplies of gasoline in East Texas after production was cut at a regional refinery.
The waiver allows the sale in 34 Texas counties of higher-volatility, winter-grade gasoline. The Biden administration has released emergency oil stocks and is considering lifting smog rules nationwide to combat rising fuel prices.
Waivers typically are issued after hurricanes or other disasters that broadly cut fuel supplies and not for outages at a single refinery as in the Texas case.
Sanctions on Russia or Lifting smog rules nationwide to combat rising fuel prices? Just a lost cause.
