U.S.—With Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg proposing a national tax based on how many miles you drive in your car, budget-minded drivers will be able to activate new features in their cars that will warn them when they're about to exceed their budgeted miles for the month.
"This is a great way to keep the poors from driving too much," said Buttigieg. "Er- I mean... to ensure social justice and equity on the roads! Yeah!"
Experts predict the proposed tax will encourage the country bumpkins in rural areas to move to the city and become good, public transportation-using liberals.
"We don't really know what those country folk are doing outside the city with all that driving," said the Transportation Secretary. "Probably going to barn-raisings and corn shuckings and racist "Q" meetings and Bible studies. They don't need all that. Bad for the environment."
New mandates will require all cars to be equipped with Buttigieg's special "mileage limit indicators" by 2022. Drivers will be able to insert cash or a credit card if they wish to keep driving.
When you exceed your daily mileage they would just apply a special charge that brings in even more tax dollars to the feds.
Given modern technology, it’s only a matter of time before your vehicle is “disabled” remotely due to some kind of perceived infraction.

Just drive in reverse
I don’t drive much. I am hoping that Peter Butt gets this tax passed. It will surely hammer the economy, while making Biden voters far and wide cry like the little girls that they are.
They’re going to trash the country, they may as well get on with it.
I’m about there with ya...let’s let our heirs see what they voted for...sooner, rather than later
No problem. OnStar will turn the vehicle off for the day.
Looks like the Bee omitted the democrat exemption part.
"Beep...Beep...Beep...Daily Mileage Limit Reached. Insert Credit Card to purchase ten miles of Driving Credits."
It won't matter to them, they will keep living in their little filthy colonies and packed little studio apartments. The lefties with money won't give a crap and they will all continue to shove feces in each others ears.
“”When you exceed your daily mileage they would just” remotely disable you electric car using a google app.”
They could do that but I suspect they could accomplish the same end result plus more tax revenue by simply ramping up the charges.
There’s an option that if you want Greta to say HOW DARE YOU instead of ButtPlug , it will be an extra $300.😀
This kind of hyperbola needs to STOP. No one will be stopped from driving with Mayor Pete’s mileage tax, not happening, instead their rate will go from the proposed 20 cents a mile to about $1.00. You can still drive as much as you want, as long as you have the resources to pay for it.

Yep.... thanks man. Loves me some RUSH. Wish I’d have seen them live. Keep it old school on the transpo to hold out as long as possible.
