No gas stoves, no gas-powered cars, and no beer are just a few things the Biden Administration has put the kibosh on.
The Democrat-controlled White House is now fear-mongering Americans into believing all cars cause climate change and promote racism and should, therefore, be banned.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appointed an Obama-era group made up of 24 "leading experts" to advise him on "transportation equity," claiming the privilege of owning a car ignites "systemic racism" and should be banned because of their negative impact on the environment.
Members of the Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity include "spatial policy scholar" Andrea Marpillero-Colomina, who says, "All cars are bad" and calls for "zero emission transit."
However, she told the Free Beacon that she is not "advocating for a complete erasure" of cars but hopes to convince Buttigieg to re-direct the U.S. from relying on private motor vehicles.
Veronica Davis also claimed cars are the "problem" and divide communities because, according to her, vehicles are a "status symbol" that only privileged white people own.
"This isn't anti-car propaganda, but vehicles have wreaked havoc on the environment and communities," Davis said, according to her book about inclusive transportation. "Racism shaped the urban and suburban areas, where even today we see the residual effects."
Scrapped by the Trump Administration, the committee will advise Buttigieg on "promising practices to institutionalize equity into agency programs, policies, regulations, and activities."
In 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order that required federal agencies to "pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all." The agency reportedly has to conduct an "equity assessment" to identify policies that create "systemic barriers" for minority communities.

One-way, one-time trips thins the population.
People forget that the anti-facists were communists who were fighting the nations SOCIALIST party for not being far enough to the left! The communists were famous for the GULAG where non-communists were killed.
Leftist are EVIL.
Check. I will drive my car more. Thanks.
Eventually they’ll build into cars a limit, so if you drive over a certain amount in a day, the car shuts off.
Time to learn how to build a carburetor.
So, he wants us to seal up our tailpipe?
I have said before I believe this will all be good fodder for our side’s TV ads. Freedoms that people take for granted are being taken away. That is more proof of totalitarianism’s takeover than not being able to speak at a meeting.
RE: on “promising practices to institutionalize equity into agency programs, policies, regulations, and activities.”
Got the idea from Communism. Actually, it is Communism.
Buttigieg’s favorite stool to sit on …. is only 3” in diameter. How does he do it ?
That’s his plan? Bwahahahaha...but he’s serious.
The whole Administration and most of the Democrat Party are on board with Schwab. And Schwab is on board with the U.N. They see the human race (themselves excluded) as a scourge that needs to be eliminated.
“They hijack or steal them all the time.”
You are right! If we ban cars, then black urban male youth would be denied the joy of carjacking, murder, mayhem, and joy riding. Ergo, banning cars is racist!
Yes, he is a worthless sack of excrement, but you better pay attention to what the radical kooks like himsay. The time between them floating an utterly ridiculous proposal and it becoming real is short and getting shorter all the time.
It isn’t a ruse...it it control. They just want us to look at something else and get distracted.
Then, one day, we will drive our mandated electric car to some distant destination, stop to charge, and get a notice that you will be supplied with enough of a charge to get back to your designated zone, and if you proceed forward, you will be unable to charge your car again.
And this won’t come from the charger. It will come from the car. So you won’t be able to get a pirate charge somewhere.
So, let’s say you decide to drive 800 miles to Washington DC to protest something. The first time you stop and try to pay, it will notify you that you will need to accept a charge and turn around.
But if you continue, you will find that when you stop to buy a cup of coffee and dinner, that your financial account has been shut down as well, and you must return back to your designated area, where your account will be re-enabled.
Every person will have a dossier kept by the government. Now, they call it a “Social Credit Score”, but that has built up enough negative baggage to require them to name it something else such as PDS Score (Patriot Dedication Score) or more likely, given their penchant for Orwellian prose, something like HERO Score (Honorably Empowered, Reliably Open-minded) for the “model” citizen.
Or some other inane designation.
There will, of course, be PCS (Pirate Charging Stations) and there will be methods to set up alternate forms of payment systems to allow people outside their designated zone to purchase goods and services, and these will be mercilessly hunted down and prosecuted. It will either be a capital crime, or a long term in a prison in which you are not expected to survive.
The FBI, Secret Service, Homeland Security will prosecute vigorously and bring each trial to a public conclusion. Regardless of guilt, the public would say “Well, they shouldn’t have been engaging in circumventing the law.”
In all of this, if you don’t turn around, stop buying things you shouldn’t, or...whatever, you car is shut down, your money is shut off, you are locked out of your home (yes, the government will have control of your door locks too. And your electricity usage. And your water usage.
In the end, you will get a message to “Citizen: Stay where you are. The police or their designated surrogate will be there at 23:05 to assist you in re-enabling your private resources. If you cooperate, this will be accomplished speedily and efficiently.”
If you’re driven in a car but get out a block early to get on a bicycle and pretend you pedaled all the way, Pete won’t mind.
Watch this pro repossess a car and the guy who use to own it running after him and spraying his water hose towards the guy : )

ALL DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL AND WANT TO CONTROL EVERYTHING WE DO!
Must conserve fuel for our Chinese overlords.
I thought Pepe was the role model for Green Latinos.
