On Thursday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a memo saying that the Trump administration will prioritize areas with larger marriage and beginning charges when it decides the place to dole out transportation funding.
Duffy detailed the “Handmaid’s Tale”-esque coverage in a memo that he stated “updates and resets the principles and standards underpinning U.S. Department of Transportation policies, programs, and activities.”
The memo says Trump’s DOT will “give preference to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average.” The memo added that the coverage may even apply to how the administration will administer the Federal Transit Administration’s Capital Funding Grants program, which “funds transit capital investments, together with heavy rail, commuter rail, mild rail, streetcars, and bus fast transit,” in response to the DOT.
After all, prioritizing excessive beginning and marriage charges to find out who will get funding to repair their roads and public transportation techniques is simply imposing a far-right agenda on the nation.
The highest 10 states with the best beginning charges—South Dakota, Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas, Louisiana, Utah, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Kansas—are all Republican-run. Meaning Duffy’s coverage would prioritize pink states over blue states.
Elon Musk
He’s one among numerous Trump administration officers with a bizarre obsession with having tons of children.
Donald Trump’s co-President Elon Musk has a breeder fetish, fathering a minimum of 12 youngsters with three totally different girls. He’s now making an attempt to create a compound for them to stay on in what sounds extra like a horror film plot. He’s overtly railed about declining beginning charges, calling it “the biggest danger civilization faces,” and desires Individuals to have extra children, although he doesn’t assist the sort of insurance policies that might make that economically possible.
What’s extra, Vice President JD Vance gave a speech to the anti-abortion March for Life on Jan. 24 wherein he declared, “I want more babies in the United States of America.”
Vance additionally notoriously criticized Democratic girls who would not have children, calling them “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
Now, it seems, the official Trump administration coverage is to punish individuals who would not have children by denying them funding to repair their roads and transportation techniques.
