'ALL CARS ARE BAD': Pete Buttigieg's Equity Advisers Want You To Stop Driving

Transportation secretary's equity committee aims to bring 'diversity' and 'inclusion' to America's infrastructur

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is appointing a group of "leading experts" to advise him on "transportation equity," including several who argue that cars cause climate change and promote racism and therefore should be phased out.

Buttigieg earlier this month appointed 24 new members to his Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity, an Obama-era body that Buttigieg is reviving after the Trump administration scrapped it. Included on the committee is Andrea Marpillero-Colomina, a "spatial policy scholar" who says "ALL CARS ARE BAD" given that they cause "a myriad of environmental issues and conditions." Another Buttigieg appointee, self-described "transportation nerd" Veronica Davis, argued in an August essay that cars perpetuate "systemic racism" and are therefore "the problem" in America's transportation system.

Here is the long version of the Victoria Davis essay. I can only conclude she’s a Communist.

I doubt it. Cannot let the little people (us) dull the pain as we die from radiation poisoning, starvation, etc. After all, the purpose of power is to inflict pain (another Orwell reference).

Many got it decades ago. They were scumbags then as they are now.

I liked Buttigieg better when I didn’t know who he was & in fact had never heard of him. Yes, too many cars can cause problems, but not as many as certain politicians. The cars seem to cause the most problems where the alternative forms of transport are even worse problems.

“Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is appointing a group of “leading experts” to advise him on “transportation equity,” including several who argue that cars cause climate change and promote RACISM and therefore should be phased out.”

Sadly, I have to admit that I once owned a WHITE CAR, so consider me GUILTY.

There are a lot more cows than horses-—Dairy & Beef

True, but if horses and carriages ever became a common means of transportation again, the gap would narrow considerably.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”—Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I’ve been telling the people around me what the enemy is up to, that the climate scam is a very great threat to our lives, our liberty, and our pursuit of happiness. They don’t believe me. Maybe they will after they read it from the horses’ mouths.

And beloved, colorful homeless mental cases, who like to push people onto the tracks just before the train comes to a stop.

They have a point—people who own cars treat the cars like slaves.

The cars need to be liberated.

But they will always have cars themselves, or be driven around in them by underlings on the public payroll.

The whole thing is reminiscent of the USSR when cars were reserved for the bigwigs.

The Woke “save the planet” types should be banned from all use of electricity or vehicles with motors.

“As a public intellectual, I am driven to contribute to our shared understanding of what makes cities work for people.” — Andrea Marpillero-Colomina

Never trust anyone who calls herself a “public intellectual” or has a hyphenated last name.

“public intellectual” = high performing sociopath.
