Yes, I apologize. Even if I don't tweet (mean or otherwise). I did detect a touch (tiny, microscopic barely measurable) hint of sarcasm. I'm sure with more practice you can say that with total conviction and then you're ready for your CNN or WH press corps (same thing) interview. :-).

It has been entertaining to listen to the absurd arguments that all this is Trump policy consequences: things like energy independence, explosive growth in "on shore" investment, a relatively contained Putin, OPEC+Russia no longer in control of the world's energy supply, orderly draw down of troops in the middle east and all those other terrible things that happened between 2017 and 2021 that set us up for runaway inflation and $10/gal fuel, doubling of food bills, shortages of everything, and of course COVID! Entertaining the twisted depths to which true believers have to go. None of it has anything to do with executive policy shutting down production, cutting energy exports or congress passing $13 trillion in new spending.

Entertaining in deed. Also sad and scary.
