Euro dips below the dollar, dropping to lowest level in 20 years

struggle with an energy crisis caused by Russia's war in Ukraine.

Not sure who is worse though. Europe and their decade long goal of energy rationing, or USA who was just ducky two years ago then the politicians just flipping the switch to off.
