Secretary Pete Has A Plan To Force You Out Of Your Fossil Fueled Vehicle

So, we’ve jumped past moving you into an electric vehicle and to you having no personal vehicle

If you didn’t think the goal of Democrats is to get you out of your car, here they are making it very clear. High gas prices, slow down cars, create bike paths and wider sidewalks to “Nudge Commuters to Public Transit.” Can’t be more clear than that. https://t.co/TTIqItpO8V

For over 17 years here on this blog, and further back when I was on chatboards, I’ve been saying that ‘climate change’ is all about control. That even if mankind was mostly responsible, the policies to “solve” it are all about the government controlling your life

(AP) With upcoming data showing traffic deaths soaring, the Biden administration is steering $5 billion in federal aid to cities and localities to address the growing crisis by slowing down cars, carving out bike paths and wider sidewalks and nudging commuters to public transit.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday announced the availability of money over five years under his department’s new Safe Streets & Roads for All program.

The aim will be to provide a direct infusion of federal cash to communities that pledge to promote safety for the multiple users of a roadway, particularly pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as motorists.

Too be honest, if he wants to help, he’d push the police to crack down on certain behaviors that lead to those accidents, such as blowing off stop signs and stop lights, driving irresponsibly, and so forth. Not forcing people to take the bus or bikes.

Deaths also are disproportionately higher among nonwhite, lower-income people, who are more likely to take public transit and travel by foot or bike, as well as those in tribal and rural areas, where speeding can be common and seat belt use less frequent.

Of course we must have a raaaaacial component.

Cliff said a big chunk of fatalities have been occurring for motorists who do not buckle up and often during short car trips “down the street.”

Well, just because some are dumb enough to not wear a seatbelt doesn’t mean the rest of us should have to ride bikes.

Really, the policy proposal is not all that bad. New sidewalks, bike lanes, etc. But, you know that is just the surface level. It’s the parts you do not see that are insidious, as usual.
