Summary
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a memo prioritizing federal funding for communities with marriage and birth rates above the national average.
The directive, which applies to grants, loans, and contracts, also prioritizes projects benefiting families with young children.
A congressional aide criticized the policy, saying, “Considering fertility rates when prioritizing federal grants? We obviously have no idea what the full impact of that will be… It’s absolutely creepy. It’s a little ‘Chinese government.’”
The memo also blocks mask mandates and requires compliance with immigration enforcement.
The previous, COVID election was an outlier. Trump lost with a huge turnout. Biden had even more. Biden had the largest turnout ever in history. Biden.
He’s not the second coming. He just happened to run in a very opportune election. Tons of people voted, especially by mail.
COVID. This last election wasn’t apathy. It was a return to the norm. Statistics.
Well that fucking sucks too. You’d think someone would have made Election Day a federal holiday and maybe we’d be alright now. Gah.
