This master of buggery has absolutely no experience whatsoever with transportation

[DAC21]

Was one of his bought and paid for Twins sucking on Buttburgers Nipple when he made the declaration?

[cgbg]

Apparently roads are dying because they failed to get their vaxxes and boosters...

;-)

Many people don’t realize this, but in the fake Infrastructure Bill new cars have to have a breathalyzer device in order to start. Also, MADD is pushing for zero-tolerance drunk-driving laws (.05 or below). This will kill the tavern and restaurant industries.

"...everyone to be double-masked while driving." The CO₂ would build-up so fast that everyone would be pulling over to stop, get the damned masks off and get some O₂. Then, the highways would be safe without any cars and drivers. Good plan.

[Carriage Hill]

That’d be Rt 322 from Harrisburg to Hershey. Heh.

[When do we get liberated?]

I am glad he has already fixed the supply chain problems!

Q: What is that white slab that you find in a can of pork and beans?

A: It’s the queen bean. And all of the other beans are the worker beans that support her.

One thing’s for certain..... stay off the Hershey Highway and you should be fine.

It’s simple, we just need a walkable nation.

Everyone works at home, drone deliveries from Amazon for everything you need, and when the government gets tired of you, they kill you.

Same goes if you dare to go outside.

[Jim Robinson]

The plan is to run the price of gas so high no one can afford to drive.

[Deaf Smith]

"NO CARS"

It will begin with a mileage tax.

[NonValueAdded]

Meanwhile, back at the port ...

[BradyLS]

I’ll bet his plan is to reduce people to taking public transportation or riding bicycles.

[buffyt]

We are SO screwed!

[momincombatboots]

O good, i thought it was get rid of combustion engines.

the US Case Fatality Rate (CFR) — which is the percentage of Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. out of the total number of cases — is 1.33%, and which includes all people of all ages and conditions. Based on CDC statistics from between the beginning of January 2020 until Jan. 14, 2021,the CFR for those aged 0-17 calculates (Y is what % of X) to 0.01%; and for those aged 18-29 the CFR is 0.05%; for ages 30-39 it is 0.15%; for ages 40-49 it is 0.4%; for ages 50-64 it is 1.37%; but for the ages of 65-74 it rises to 4.74%; and for the combined ages of 75 to 84 then it leaps to 11.27%; and all those who are 85 and older then it jumps to 23.25%. CDC on 1/14/21.

For a comparison, the odds of dying in a motor vehicle accident are calculated to be 1 in 107 (0.93%) and your chances of getting into a motor vehicle accident are one in 366 (0.27%) for every 1,000 miles driven. And thus despite headlines of exceptions, for the young (and fit and healthy) the odds of dying from Covid-19 are very minimal.

The article is couched in general terms but the examples he apparently wants to emulate are described as reductions in deaths of pedestrians and cyclists. If that’s the focus, then look for more bike lanes, less car lanes, lower speed limits, speed bumps, more stoplights.

[muir_redwoods]

He’s the brains behind Biden’s plan to make gasoline so expensive none of us can drive anywhere..

[EinNYC]

Must have something to do with butt grease.

Yeah. Rub it inside the tail pipes of your car.
