Drill Man, Drill.
Biden’s Broken Promise.
Welcome to Topical Cream, a new, periodic segment with an appropriately cringeworthy title for fuckery in the news. Our aim is to add in these segments to tackle more timely and newsworthy events that either relate to previous Unf*cking narratives or to set up future episodes. Our inaugural Cream finds us back in the world of crude oil and commodities with the recent capitulation on the part of the Biden administration to the oil and gas industry.
