That lifestyle has always included goals that involved eventual home ownership, but we also developed a culture where transportation and mobility were critical, leading to personal car ownership being among the traditionally revered objectives.
But everything has changed. And there is no better example of this than our supposed Transportation Secretary adopting a position where Americans should be ushered away from owning their own cars, be they gas-driven or even electric.
Everyone should be using public transportation as much as possible. Well… not “everyone,” of course. But most certainly you. (Townhall)
- Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appointed an Obama-era group made up of 24 “leading experts” to advise him on “transportation equity,” claiming the privilege of owning a car ignites “systemic racism” and should be banned because of their negative impact on the environment.
Members of the Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity include “spatial policy scholar” Andrea Marpillero-Colomina, who says, “All cars are bad” and calls for “zero emission transit.”
However, she told the Free Beacon that she is not “advocating for a complete erasure” of cars but hopes to convince Buttigieg to re-direct the U.S. from relying on private motor vehicles.
The word “private” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. In other words, they won’t be getting rid of all cars. Just your cars. Your private cars. Just like they won’t be getting rid of all planes. The military will still need jets (sold by the military-industrial complex and paid for by your taxpayer dollars). And important people will still need their private jets because they are very busy. But you don’t need to fly.
None of our supposed governmental betters live by any of these rules, of course. Do you suppose they are giving up private transport? Are they living without air conditioning? But you are supposed to do without. We should all be taking up less space and using so many resources. We shouldn’t be impacting the environment and should instead be devoting resources to others, or so we are told.
Because we have to save the world. And make no mistake, this is not a specifically Democratic Problem. We have plenty of establishment Republicans who frequently sing along with the choir and mimic many of these policies for political advantage while hypocritically enjoying the luxurious benefits of the swamp.
They are clearly part of the scam being run on all of us. They do not practice what they preach. They never intended to. They are robbing you and your progeny while living large at your expense. And we don’t have to tolerate it. They need to go.
A serious housecleaning is needed. Stop putting up with it or you will be living in pods and eating bugs while they laugh at you from their mansions. Hopefully, this can be taken care of at the ballot box. If not, other remedies may be required. But enough is enough.
