Some governments around the planet
have proclaimed that they won’t lift all restrictions and mandates pertaining
to the COVID-19 plandemic until nary a single case of the Wuhan Flu can be
found. Until recently, this appeared to be the goal of Dr. Fauci and the Biden
administration, as well. Now, our rulers and experts admit that we will
probably never rid ourselves of the virulent visitor from the East.
After failing to conquer the
coronavirus, the Biden administration has now set its sights on traffic fatalities.
In fact, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, apparently back from a
lengthy paternal leave, has a plan to reach “zero
roadway fatalities” in the coming years. Buttigieg recently told the
Associated Press that the Biden administration is preparing to roll out a new
“safe system” plan designed to decrease traffic fatalities nationwide. Buttigieg
noted that the half-year traffic death total for 2020 was 20,160, the highest
total half-year figure since 2006, and that traffic fatalities significantly
increased in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
Buttigieg stated: “Even through a
pandemic that led to considerably less driving, we continue to see more danger
on our roads.” He added, “We cannot tolerate the continuing crisis of roadway
deaths in America,” especially because they are “preventable.”
The Department of Transportation
(DOT) said that roadway safety is “inextricably linked with the Biden-Harris
Administration’s equity and climate goals,” and that, you guessed it, traffic
fatalities “disproportionately affect communities of color.”
Buttigieg asserted, “Today
we commit that our goal is this: zero. Our goal is zero deaths. The decision to
commit to that goal in a serious way at a national level changes the way cities
and towns design roads, changes the way companies build cars, changes the way
people drive.”
The progressive
politician-English translation is: “We need another crisis to enable us to
keep the lockdowns going and the people in their place while we are free to do
whatever we want…which is to keep the people in their place while we do whatever
we want.”
Components of the “safe
system plan” include increased use of traffic cameras, regulations mandating
automatic emergency braking in all new passenger vehicles, lower speed limits,
creation of many more dedicated bike and bus lanes, and requiring automakers to
install anti-drunken driving technology in all motor vehicles.
This will, of course,
take more money from taxpayers’ wallets…and more freedom away from them, too.
The Biden
administration, out of touch with both average Americans and reality, may--
whether accidentally or by design-- reduce traffic fatalities by making
gasoline so expensive most people can’t afford much of it, and by banning the
internal combustion engine. Those attempting to move about the country in new
electric cars will be mostly stuck on the sides of roads or at charging
stations. And, even if there were any moving vehicles on a particular roadway,
given the fact that they will likely then weigh about as much as a loaf of
bread and be traveling at speeds under 20 miles-an-hour, “boo-boos” and “owies”
would ensue, not fatalities.
Sorry, people, but our
leaders just can’t grant us our freedom again until there is “zero” chance that
any one of us might die from any cause.
That’s how much they
care about us. Right?
