Each news item needs to be judged on its own merit. All the media has hits and misses so you are wrong.

All media knows they will be judged for their news reports. You are getting weird.

Make your post about CNN. It describes CNN well.

Call it what you want. If you don't read all the news you don't know what is going on.

The last fifty years put most Americans in a pretty good spot. People that have been fortunate enough to keep working while making mostly reasonable real estate buys are in good shape by the time they are in their 60's. No shrewd investing needed. Good old real estate appreciation. 
Some are predicting a lot of inflation around the corner. Hope it is not as bad as some believe.

It's not. Lumber prices have recently dropped 40%: https://www.ajc.com/news/lumber-prices-see-biggest-drop-in-history-after-historic-highs/L2HEEWAUJFGRDCOIQM2ST2RSU4/

As the Fed had previously noted, and verified in the above link, people reach a point where they're just not willing to pay more for a particular product or commodity and prices begin to moderate. Certain Republicans and their propagandists would like you to believe otherwise but they're wrong, as usual...
You link does say it is still about double what it was before COVID hit.

It does seem like more pipelines would lessen the impact of a threat against a pipeline.
More pipeline capacity is better than less pipeline capacity.
