Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Could Wreak Havoc on World Energy Supply*Stephen Silver* *Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine* Gas prices have been inching gradually higher early in 2022 with the uncertainty surrounding Ukraine a major reason why.

According to The New York Times, oil prices jumped to near $100 a barrel for a seven-year high on Thursday.

California Nurse: “I Want People to Know What I Lost to this Vaccine – I am Living a Nightmare, It’s Not Worth it.”
“Do not cave because you do not want to be like me,” she says. “I don’t want anyone to lose their health. I was a thriving 50-year-old.
