The United States Senate recently passed a $1.2 trillion
infrastructure bill. The bill was sold to the American people as an investment
in their country’s broadband, transit, and water systems. In reality, the bill
directs some of the staggering amount of taxpayer’s money towards ensuring that
Democrats are never out of power again. The bill’s Digital Equity Act would also
provide money for the effective elevation of sexual
orientation and gender identity (SOGI) to a “specifically protected class
status,” warns the Family Research Council.
Pot did
you say? You are correct. The bill includes a provision that will permit states
that have not yet legalized recreational marijuana to get various “samples and
strains” of weed for research purposes, by creating a “national clearinghouse
to collect and distribute” pot and products containing it.
Oddly
enough, according to WUSA-TV, the very same infrastructure bill “mandates that
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration must create rules mandating
that alcohol monitoring systems be required for all new cars.” The bill
mandates that a government entity mandate something?
WUSA noted that the technology would
be required to either “Passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor
vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired; and prevent
or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected,” or “Passively
and accurately detect whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a
motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration
described in section 163(a) of title 23, United States Code; and prevent or
limit motor vehicle operation if a blood alcohol concentration above the legal
limit is detected.” Or both.
The bill does not mandate
that the NHTSA mandate that marijuana monitoring systems be required for all
new cars.
A question: what happens if a
vehicle’s alcohol monitoring system determines that a driver is impaired, and
that driver turns out to be a non-binary bisexual goofed on ganja? I mean, we
taxpayers may have paid for both the alcohol monitoring systems and the
pot that impaired the driver. But the driver would be unlikely to be prosecuted
or face repercussions due to his/her/they/its status as a member of a protected
group. That is government in action!
Infrastructure bill? Yeah, right.
Now tell us the one about the three bears.
Or should I say the three
non-binary, bisexual bears who are being simultaneously encouraged to use
“medical” marijuana and never to drink and drive?
