MAGA, the O&G companies and Elon Musk installed Trump because they wanted you to drive less. That was their plan all along. We all believe that.
Driving less? The hell with that. I’m not going to drive at all. I’ll be saving all the gas money!
Adds another lane: drive less!
Stops construction of another public transport project: Drive Less!!
Removes solar power and electric car subsidies: DRIVE Less!
Makes electric bikes illegal: DRIVE LESS!
(Party of freedom, btw)
If it were a dem saying this maga would be crying tyranny like they did with masks during covid.
Supports/encourages RTO policies: Drive less!
Forces for federal employees. More restrictive than pre COVID.
Great suggestion! The US has great public transit /s… wait… no…
I don’t understand why the generation that snacked on lead paint chips is allowed to be in charge of this country.

It’s what the American voters wanted.
The voters also “snacked on lead paint chips” [sic]
My understanding is that paint is only very rarely stripped out of existing houses. It’s normally just painted over.
In the US, lead paint prohibitions went into place in 1978.
So unless you’ve avoided being in buildings constructed prior to 1978, you have probably been in buildings with lead paint.
That’s not to say that there aren’t benefits to painting over lead paint. I’m sure that it reduces the amount of leaded paint dust and such. But a chip can still contain paint from an earlier coat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-based_paint_in_the_United_States
In 1971, Congress banned the use of lead-based paint in residential projects (including residential structures and environments) constructed by, or with the assistance of, the federal government.[3] The Consumer Product Safety Commission followed with implementing regulations, effective in 1978.[4] Additional regulations regarding lead abatement, testing and related issues have been issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
When my kids were little and we were moving into our new to us house, built in 1946, they also cautioned about the outside. Treat 10’ around the house as potentially contaminated from peeling exterior paint. No vegetable gardens in that dirt. No kids playing in that dirt
And, let’s all return to the office while we’re driving less, right?
Fuck you in particular, Ricky.
yes, you seeee, you peasants need to stop taking your private jets on unnecessary jaunts.
They are also encouraging auto makers to lower gas mileage. Keep bragging how awesome oil company stocks, and dependant US allies, are thanks to Iran war.
knock out those SUV exceptions and all of a sudden all cars have to get 40mpg…
The main problem was that every car became an SUV so they could avoid the regulations. I just hope now that small cars don’t have to worry about them that more of them get on the market again.
Guess I’ll stop going to work….hmm…maybe I can get some of those WFH days back now that I’m limited to 1 per week?
Best way to lower energy prices is to vote out the republicans.
So, back to home office, yes?
Goolag and Scamazon say no.
US government evolution of transportation ideology
- Walking is for the poors and the idiots
- Cycling is for suicidal maniacs
- Public transit is big government and communism and you’ll get mugged
- Cars are driving up gas prices
- ???
- PROFIT! (for the oil companies and the rest of the ruling class)
Well we would, if your stupid administration hadn’t cut telework for feds.
Stupid stupid stupid.
That guy is a genius! Not even an expert in the obvious would’ve went there. Can we make his “bonuses” even more grotesquely huge? /s
