What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBloomberg reports oil price weakness and inflation concerns have derailed the record U.S. stock rally.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJoining us is Senator Walt Grimsby-Delacroix of the Great Lakes Commonwealth of Upper Nowhere.
Walt Grimsby-DelacroixGloria, thank you. Let me be clear: the rally was record-breaking because of me. The derailing was done by people I've never met.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSenator, Bloomberg says the stall comes from oil weakness and inflation worries. Bloomberg does not mention you. Not once.
Walt Grimsby-DelacroixThat's the media burying my work. I once cut a ribbon at a gas station, and oil has loved me ever since.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd the oil weakness? Do you claim that too, or is that someone else's mess?
Walt Grimsby-DelacroixCheap oil is my doing, absolutely. Inflation is the previous administration, the next administration, and a barista who looked at me funny in 2019.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSenator, those two claims cancel out. You can't own the cheap oil and also blame the inflation worries on a barista.
Walt Grimsby-DelacroixGloria, I contain multitudes. When prices fall, I'm a hero.
Walt Grimsby-DelacroixWhen anything else happens, I was on a boat, and the boat was unavailable for comment.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI've been thrown out of three embassies for less evasion than that. Bloomberg's editors call this momentum fading into year-end. Your reaction?
Walt Grimsby-DelacroixMomentum is fine. It's just resting its eyes. I'll be holding a press conference at a car wash to announce that I fixed it.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOf course you will. Is there any part of this story you'll accept blame for, even a small part?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNo answer, and the senator's feed just froze, conveniently. We'll have to leave it there. BBN will keep tracking oil, inflation, and the missing accountability.
