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.

Leftist ideology in a nutshell.
Freedom bad.
Yup
Yup. Or North Korea today.
I’ve heard urine and feces are a big problem, on Bay Area Rapid Transit trains, in the SF Bay area.
They’re trying to get us all killed. The left hasn’t had a single good idea in my entire long lifetime and they’re certainly not going to come up with any from this idiotic regime either.
Apparently everyone in this administration is an insane incompetent kleptocratic ideologue.
It’s this sort of insanity that makes me wonder how we will ever be united again.
In this particular case, "ALL CARS ARE BAD ... Except ours."
“cars perpetuate systemic racism”
Homosexuals perpetuate systemic destruction of morality and civility.
Let’s deal with the second issue first.
The first item is not an issue, it is an actual lie, a lie related to the destruction of morality.
Once you realize that electric cars as an alternative to internal combustion vehicles is a bait and switch tactic get us to the point of no personal cars at all, you’re getting somewhere.
Luckily, I don’t drive a car. I drive a truck.
WINNER!!!!
yes
the elite always exempt themselves
bingo!
FREEDOM? Bwahahahahaha...As did Russia, China and much of the rest of the world, we are acquiring our CHAINS the old-fashioned way: WE EARNED THEM!
Electric vehicles plagued by logistical issues, but few mention the elephant in the room by Bob Kingsley 09/01/

And just imagine the carbon shenanigans they will use to restrict and control. Each person will have their own personal quota. Rationing of food, energy travel. There could be daily, weekly, monthly, even lifetime limits on how much food and energy you could use via government imposed carbon limits.
Imagine the underground barter system that would develop.
Besides restricting travel with energy rationing, the leftists would love to adopt the Soviet Union’s internal passport system. Yes....your ‘papers.’ In the USSR, in order to travel outside your immediate, small area, one needed ‘papers.’ Planes, busses, bicycles, and yes, walking were all monitored and controlled. At any moment you could be stopped and your ‘papers’ examined. Without your internal passport, you and your family could easily end up in the work camps and gulags.
The dirty little secret was, they did not issue any ‘papers’ to a huuuuge percentage of the population. DemocRATS would love to institute such a system here.
Anyone who has, uses or is even friends with an “equity advisor” does not merit serious consideration in any respect by thoughtful people. (Of course, Butt-gag had already earned this sentiment through his complete incompetence and indifference with regard to air travel and shipping matters ... which is his effin’ job to deal with effectively!)
And the Metro drivers complain of busses also full of meth and fentanyl smoke.
So lets all go to public transport! /s
