Moreover, the DOT’s proposed prioritization would not benefit the American people as a whole. We find that the winners of such a policy would be higher-income areas and those with larger white populations. As such, the policy would reinforce many of the nation’s existing demographic inequities and fail to support the US residents most in need of expanded transportation investment.

    These dolts are going to crash the birth rate even harder. No one wants to bring children into a technofascist shithole of a country. The birth rate is going to plummet to that of South Korea.

    Well this got conveniently got buried in the musk and trump show. This would be massively damaging to our already shit infrastructure and basically gates federal funding behind states making laws to remove woman’s rights increase birth rates.

    This is exactly like how the feds forced states to raise the drinking age to 21 and criminalize drunk driving in the 1980s by tying federal highway funding to it.

    So have more babies or lose funding. I’m sure a more cohesive network of ideas like these will be forthcoming.
