WASHINGTON -- Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary who holds the purse strings to much of President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure package, was holding forth with reporters on its impact — the promise of more electric cars, intercity train routes, bigger airports — when a pointed question came.

“I’m still surprised that some people were surprised when I pointed to the fact that if a highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a Black neighborhood ... that obviously reflects racism,” he said.

Butteijeig in perspective is a major link to Schwab’s School for Young leaders who now lead the world’s Great Reset juggernaut. Butteijeig is from the class of 2019.

Others are Bezos, Newsome, Gates, Merkel, Macron and others are likely enrolled now:

"So the assclown from south bend over is moving forward eh?"
He's a graduate of Klaus Schwab’s Young Global Leaders Class (along with some others such as Gavin Newsom, Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron):

They got Biden into the WH. They could do the same for Buttplug.

This guy is so over his head it ain’t funny. He will make a total ASS of himself and the $1 Trillion will disappear in the wind to really good con artists who will pick his pocket clean and nothing will get done or built. Poor Pete will be left holding the bag literally.

We won’t see much of a difference. A couple of bridges will get repaired. But that would probably had happened anyway without the infrastructure bill.

That’s what he’s there for - not to get anything done, but to be a money hole.
