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 consequence of your moral compromises is that the world is broken. Did you read my very short message where I made a specific point to say that?

        No its not. That doesn’t even make any sense. Moral compromise has been a constant of human civilization.

          Yes, it is. Moral compromise has been a near-constant, and also war and corruption. GO FIGURE.
