Quote:The Plan to Kill the Family Car

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is using “the phony rise in highway deaths” to “kill cars to save you and me.”

The alleged goal of the Biden Administration’s new National Roadway Safety Strategy is to reduce traffic fatalities to zero. Zero! And while this is an obviously impossible task, it makes the ulterior motive more evident: “The secret sauce to his plan is making car ownership miserable for you and me.”

Horace Cooper

In a commentary published by The Economic Standard, Project 21 Co-Chairman Horace Cooper and American Commitment’s Nathanael Bennett explain that the mechanism to deaden America’s passion for vehicle ownership is taxing people – and minorities, in particular – into submission #DemokkkratsHateBlackPeople:

Buried in the bureaucratic morass that makes up the 42-page plan is the big killer: thousands of speed cameras will be installed around the country. For good measure, [Buttigeig] also plans to bribe your state and local governments to dramatically lower speed limits.

The public purpose: slow down drivers and save lives. Although Orwellian surveillance techniques have become a staple of the left the last two years, none will wreak havoc on the wallets of Americans like this. Data from cities and states who have already implemented speed cameras has shown a dramatic increase in the number of tickets doled out each year, but no sign of improvement in lowering auto related fatalities.

As more cameras lead to more tickets, studies show this doesn’t necessarily make roads safer. Likewise, slower speeds don’t always save lives.

Speed is not even the killer it is made out to be by camera advocates. In a Missouri study cited in the commentary, more than two-thirds of traffic deaths were due to drivers not wearing seatbelts.

And there is an additional angle that should concern and outrage the left’s equity activists.

Rigid automated enforcement creates a disparate racial impact, as the commentary noted that “[t]he rate of citations in these neighborhoods was double that of non-minority neighborhoods.”

With all of these things considered, it is clear that safety is not the real goal of the Biden Administration and its supporters:

Rather than saving lives, traffic cameras and artificially low speed limits are the easiest way for federal, state and local governments to create a steady flow of income and “drive” down interest in car ownership. Let’s also not forget the bounty this will provide to the insurance industry.

Under the guise of “public safety” Buttigieg and his colleagues plan to use taxpayer dollars to build and install thousands of machines that will fund their other irresponsible spending habits. Combined with insurance companies’ higher rates for “speeding” there will be less money in your pocket without any life-saving benefit. Gasoline prices are high enough now and when this new plan is added to the picture, we could see significant drops in car ownership.

“Seeking zero highway deaths sounds nice until you realize the actual goal is to undo the 20th century’s greatest mobility invention – the automobile,” Horace and Bennett wrote. “Automotive ownership is one of the greatest ways for Americans to exercise freedom. Let’s not let this latest far-left scheme to kill cars succeed.”

That's a gay plan.

Agreed… It sucks and swallows

They are pulling out all the stops.

Despite the push by the Trudeau Liberals to have all new vehicles sold in Canada be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2035, a recent study uncovered that they could lose up to 30% of their range in freezing temperatures, possibly jeopardizing that target.


Electric vehicles lose up to 30% of their range in winter weather, says firm

Electric vehicles boast a higher efficiency relative to gas vehicles, preventing them from using wasted heat to warm up the cabin and maintain passenger comfort below freezing.

According to Seattle-based Recurrent, which measured range loss in 7,000 EVs at temperatures between -7°C and -1°C, the Jaguar I-Pace lost 3% of its range while the Volkswagen ID.4 lost 30% at those temperatures.

Recurrent researcher Liz Najmam cited the energy needed to heat the EV's cabin during the winter for its decreased range.

She said its higher efficiency relative to gas vehicles prevents it from using wasted heat to warm up the cabin and maintain passenger comfort.

So, New Yawkers and Seattlites gonna have problems driving in winter, not to mention Canadiens...but that's what the Leftists want...stay in your self-made prisons and eat your soylent green like your overlords command, and pretend to yourself that is freedom...

This will end when the entire "99%" is living in Stalinist-style apartments on the railroad tracks and the "1%" doesn't have to interact with the scum. But hey, the apartment housing will probably be "free" to get to that point.

Did you expect anything less than taking it up the a** from secretary Bootyjudge ????

I have a better idea---why dont all the totalitarians move to China or Russia.

If you love freedom move to the rural areas, buy horses, ditch your cell phones and raise your own food. No devices mean no monitoring. If you want to get away just ride into the woods. Drones can't see you, and if they really want to get you just make a ghillie suit out of pizza insulation bags on the inside and whatever blends on the outside. No heat signature will be seen. None of the new woke crowd will go off road to find you. To those city dwelling, Facebook posting, hookup artists, the bugs are icky, and they are afraid of all wild animals. Heck, you can track them in the woods, and they won't know. They'll send a drone to look for you or task a satellite, but those old Dominoes delivery bags are cheap and effective. Besides, if you aren't super rich and are considered unimportant, they won't even go looking for you. You know cost benefit analysis. Besides there are no charging stations in the woods for their electric Yugo.

The world is still free if you do that and quit listening to their fear mongering.

Just a thought! Besides, I always feel closer to God on the water or in the woods. What He created there is far more beautiful and beneficial than the high-rise monstrosities filled with sewage pipes and carcinogenic materials and water containing who knows what from the wage and hour crowd at the water treatment facilities. Those are the tree hating, ground paving, nature fearing, modern day Orcs and trolls that despise God and destroy creation, not farmers in gas burning John Deers and F150s.

And what is civilized is the behavior you find in any farming community, not the rude morons who don't know what animal gives them hamburgers.

If we leave them alone and quit feeding them, they'll go away. I promise!

Booty-gig merely seeks to expand his empire beyond fixing pot holes in South Bend.

Denying US citizens freedom while pushing public transportation and electric vehicles is simply a "2 for 1" goal from his socialist perspective.
