CDC Director Rochelle Walensky released a video claiming that 'Wearing a mask reduces your risk of COVID-19 infection by more than 80%'.

While begging Russia and Saudi Arabia to increase oil production, Joe is contemplating shutting down a pipeline from Canada to Michigan that carries twenty-three million barrels of oil per day.

Is this a response to the anti-oil lobby, an effort to trash the economy, or is to further enrich Bill Gates who owns the trains that carry Canadian oil to the coast?

Explain to me, again, how this isn't about profiteering?
