Jennifer Granholm’s hilarity about rising fuel prices is worse than you thought
American Thinker ^ | 6 Nov, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

When Granholm started giggling in response to a question about soaring gas prices, she revealed something chilling about the Biden administration.

A short video is circulating showing Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm’s response to being asked about rising gas prices. Granholm starts giggling and says “That is hilarious.” Most thought she was laughing at people’s suffering but, in a way, her response was worse than that because she was really laughing about the fact that she and Biden do not plan to improve the situation for ordinary Americans.

Rising gas prices are a huge problem. Not only do they make travel significantly more expensive, but they also make everything more expensive because there’s nothing in America that isn’t in some way dependent on gasoline. The mechanized farming that feeds America requires gasoline. The same is true for the few remaining factories that make our goods. And getting all those foods and other goods to market requires gasoline too.

Every home, store, and office in America relies on fossil fuels in one way or another—and on Biden’s watch, prices have gone up and up: (chart)

However, when Thomas Keene, a Bloomberg interviewer, described those gas prices and asked about the Biden administration’s plans, Granholm giggled and said, “That’s hilarious.” Most people assumed that she was saying that it was hilarious that gas prices were soaring and people struggling: (tweets)

Blames it on OPEC when Bidet made us dependent on them again by shutting down pipelines. I expect the Bidet regime will start imposing price controls as inflation soars on everything. And ...POOF...like that they control everything.

When Granholm started giggling in response to a question about soaring gas prices [...]

That was not "giggling."

"Giggling" is what little kids do when you tickle them. The word, by itself, has mostly positive connotations.

What Granhold was doing was "guffawing." She might just as well have combined it with some "knee-slapping."

When VP Harris does it, it's most-aptly described as "insane tittering," like what a knife-wielding psycho might emit.

But back to Granholm: Her laughter was inappropriate mostly because it indicated that she had (insincerely) interpreted the question as meaning, "What will you, Madam Sec'ty, do to solve America's energy problem overnight?"

What the reporter was actually asking was, "Is there anything that the Biden Administration plans on doing to address this serious problem?!"

(The obvious response would, of course, have been: "Yes, we could simply undo all of Biden's meddling and return to Trump's energy agenda!")

Regards,

When we judge Biden, we include the clowns he has surrounding him in his cabinet. This former Governor of Michigan and CNN talking head is as incompetent in her Secretary of Energy position as Peter Butt. is playing Secretary of Energy.

They are now on the painting she keeps in her attic.

She could have asked Trump for his magic wand. Apparently he knows how to increase domestic gas production.

Notice that none of F Joe’s cabinet ministers can’t fix anything and can only make things worse?

Actually, I kinda miss those days, 55 mph speed limit and convoys on the interstates, everyone talking on their CB’s reporting on Smoky locations, running bumper to bumper 80 ~ 90 Mph kinda felt like NASCR 😂!

High gas prices are not a crisis they are the GOAL. They WANT them to go much higher to reduce use. This is part of the Green New Deal. Everything the Marxists are doing is to reduce our standard of living. Happy well fed people do not support revolutions.

Much of that, as I recall, originated during the Nixon era (1973).

You’re right, the speed limit was reduced in 1973

If there was -ever- material for an RNC political ad, this is it.

The writer's logic and economic understanding is in the right place yet doesn't appear to know that commerce and agriculture move on diesel, not gasoline. Of course, that fuel has also experienced price increases due to the same factors affecting the price of gasoline. Throw in the increased cost of natural gas, add some spot shortages for spice, et Voila!...agricultural production goes down due to the lack of fertilizers which are produced from natural gas feedstocks. Now you can really get the inflationary spiral moving, along with the bonus of actual food shortages. A Progressive/Greenie wet dream...
