“walkers, bikers and mass transit users”
Ever since the end of WWII state, local and Federal governments have done everything in their power to get people to move out into the suburbs.
The make plenty of coves in the suburbs such that what would be a 5 minute walk becomes a 30 minute walk to the store.
Now we reverse that in less than a decade?
The trollies were all pulled up except as tourist attractions.
Bus service is now almost non-existent. A 20 minute drive becomes a 2.5 hour commute.
We don’t have decent train service (I’ve been in China, Japan, Australia, and most of Europe. We have by far the poorest train service of any place I have been).
The electrical infrastructure in some places is so bad that an eighth of an inch of ice can bring entire cities to a grinding halt.
Some cities have not replaced transformers in 70 years.
The last functioning nuclear power plant in the United States was built in Tennessee almost three decades ago.
So we do the “California model” people can’t get to work, restaurants won’t have diners, shops won’t have customers, tourism will be all but wiped out, factories will be starved for energy and will move to Asia.
So basically Secretary Granholm is either a complete idiot or she is actively working to sabotage the country or she is helping China to become the dominant country. Or all three.
Fair enough, but to put a sharper point on it any two out of the three would describe her.
Banning-emasculating something as American as our auto industry ought to be left to a vote by our citizens.
This appears, however, to be the result of our putting solid Americans into office and the next day they get a folder from Biden's FBI and the next day they vote to ban fire breathing engines.
