Diesel Shortages Threaten Global Economy
Thaddeus McCotter joins the show's preparation segment to examine the severe global diesel shortage, which has pushed Connecticut prices well past $6 per gallon. This scarcity stems from refinery backlogs, a critical lack of new USinfrastructure, and Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refining facilities. In response, anxious Russian citizens have started purchasing alternative electric vehicles to bypass long fueling lines. McCotter and Batchelor also analyze the upcoming midterm elections, noting how visual presentation is crucial in the social media era. They highlight candidate El-Sayed's deliberate "fighter" style of wearing work boots and t-shirts to capture anti-establishment voter frustration. (8)
