Transportation secretary's equity committee aims to bring 'diversity' and 'inclusion' to America's infrastructur
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is appointing a group of "leading experts" to advise him on "transportation equity," including several who argue that cars cause climate change and promote racism and therefore should be phased out.
Buttigieg earlier this month appointed 24 new members to his Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity, an Obama-era body that Buttigieg is reviving after the Trump administration scrapped it. Included on the committee is Andrea Marpillero-Colomina, a "spatial policy scholar" who says "ALL CARS ARE BAD" given that they cause "a myriad of environmental issues and conditions." Another Buttigieg appointee, self-described "transportation nerd" Veronica Davis, argued in an August essay that cars perpetuate "systemic racism" and are therefore "the problem" in America's transportation system.

Bootyjuice is right. We are denying ourselves the joy of experiencing “beloved subway performers” when we drive ourselves to work.

And even worse is that it doesn’t seem to matter. America is just going down the tubes.

On reddit Seattle residents are saying the buses are full of urine and human poop.
And that is a committed group of bus riders.

Let’s see. No highway infrastructure expansion or upkeep
even though our populace has doubled.
No plans to increase our power grid.
No plans to desalinate water on the West Coast to help out
with the water shortage.
Is anyone else getting the message?
They don’t plan on many of us being around much longer.

Since 2008.
And apparently, by design.
Because no one can make so many stupid decisions by accident.
I would never have believed it possible.
But there is no denying it.

In the early and mid-20th Century, blacks used inexpensive automobiles to leave the segregated South for better economic and social conditions in the North and West. Henry Ford made the Model T so inexpensive that most people could afford purchases.

To keep the wokesters happy, I know Joe Biden will have to give up his car.
But can he still keep his 18 wheeler?
