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.

Democrats can eat - not cake - they can eat each other.
Washington state government announced yesterday they will subsidize the purchase of electric powered bikes for the specific purpose of reducing the number of cars.
Two problems...
(1) It rains seven to eight months per year in Seattle,
(2) All of those 30 mph subsidized bikes will be on the sidewalk, trying to kill pedestrians, like me.
Can’t have those either. Horse farts cause climate change.
Don’t know if horses and buggies will be allowed. Horses pass gas just like cows do. Not sure which species pollutes the most.
When you put it that way, yeah...it sounds pretty ominous.
Egad.
a stunning Marxist ...
Maybe the day he refrains from rampant rump wrangling..
Buttplug is at it again.
“Andrea Marpillero-Colomina”
Another pampered, hyphenated parasite.
I’ll be brief: NOPE! :)
Veronica Davis' essay might be the dumbest thing I have ever read. I am now stupider for reading it.
When It Comes To Transportation Problems, All Roads Lead Back To Cars
If all cars are bad you may as well drive one that is dependable and doesn’t get you stranded.
Is that the new 2053 corvette?
Seats four now and has TWO horsepower.
Whoo-hoo!

Waiting outside while various gang groups and mentally deranged derelicts size you up for victimization is a side effect of public transportation.
But urban Dems demand the right to own wheels to get to their cribs——

Great post.

RE: Leftist ideology in a nutshell.🥜
Buttigieg: There they go again making remarks about my funny shaped head. They think I have some sneaky plan in my head but believe me there is nothing up there.
Socialists want you to stop doing everything
Including being alive
My car puts less CO2 in the atmosphere than his limos, and private jets. Actually, they should be paying me for putting CO 2 back into circulation. IT IS PLANT FOOD. The more CO2, the more luscious and green the Earth is.
