Why not just give everyone a Tesla, Mr. Buttigieg? That would solve most of the country’s energy problems overnight.

Wait. That’s not the American way. Let’s give everyone a choice: a Tesla, a Chevy Bolt, or a Nissan Leaf.

It is way past time that butt-boy contracts terminal AIDS. He's "butting" around on borrowed time.

He is saying, in his inarticulate and incompetent way, that he wants to force everyone to pay into a fund for transportation that most of them will never use.

Buttigieg’s vision: You have to pay for a monthly share of communal transportation provided by ... what exactly? But it gets better, since in his concept, everyone gets PAID for consuming magic resources. Do we get free dope with that?

Secretary of Transportation is obviously a demanding job.

Typical queer, living in a fantasy world populated by rainbows, butterflies, unicorns and sexually permissive adolescents.

That dude is a silly butt-pirate. Meh

sounds like the cusp of “you’ll own nothing and be happy”,
and/or, were going to force you into coal/nuclear powered cars.

What he means is that you will have a monthly mileage allowance. You will program this in advance each month, with each trip planned and perhaps a 10 percent margin for unexpected errands. The government will then assign your ride based on distance, your age, and the availability of various assets in the seamless system.

Ah... Now we see a glimpse into the world of EV’s. The communist Rulers control it all. You take what they give you if they choose to give you anything at all. If you don’t pay or if they don’t like you then you get shut out. They can take your government supplied vehicle or they can cut you off from charging it. And of course your every move is monitored.

Next will be the need for being approved for every trip you take even to the super market.

Enjoy!

They are always looking for ways to pay their voters directly.

Typical of this clown: Sit around noodling about something that might happen 50 years from now while he lets the supply chain and gas price issues fester in the reality of today. What a waste of skin...

“A “more intermediate goal” in the U.S. would be transitioning from monthly car payments to a “monthly transportation payment that’s quite a bit less than a car payment that covers everything,” said Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020. “

sounds like socialized medicine, only socialized transportation ...

“From your home, you can put more into the transportation system than you get out of it through things like energy, so that you would participate in creating so much value that you’d actually get a net dividend on it, instead of paying into it on a net basis,” he added. “Now, that’s pretty far out.”

sure ... if everyone has a Mr. Fusion in their basement ...
