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.
They have gone quiet because the project is now wound down. Dufus is in the white house, so they have been moved to a new task.
They’ve moved on to directly attacking trans people and bipoc
Yep. Well, most of them. Some seem to still be sticking with, and even doubling down, on the stupid and immoral position, although they frame it as being morally superior to everyone else. 🤣
You guys sound like the bots to me. Defending the genocidal politicians and the system that keeps them in power. That stain will never wash off, no matter what shit you try to sling at everyone else. Moral compromise like yours is why this world is broken.
Moral high horsing doesn’t stop your rights from being taken away and country ruined.
No, the fact that we had an election and the sum of you voted for a fascist and another fascist is why the country is disintegrating. See, when you make immoral choices, bad things happen as a result, that’s why the choices are immoral. You love to pretend that this logic only applies to third party voters, while ~140M of you vote for literal monsters and accept ZERO culpability. For some reason you’re all even more focused on third party voters than the literal Trump voters, despite them having 25-50x as much influence on the election.
Look around you. The oligarchs are feasting on my country right now. Palestine is fucked as Beni snuggles up tightly in Trump’s arm. The Chancellor has been given full access to our Treasury. The only high ground that will remain is the wall mound we build around our villages to repelled incoming invaders.
Biden introduced the “oligarchy” word again and now you’re all using it. Like the actual oligarchy wasn’t running this country under Biden. Like Biden didn’t just send, what, 40 billion dollars of arms to a genocide. Like Congress, who between them and the President completely control the Treasury (not just the information, mind you, but the FUNDS) weren’t completely on board with all of that. Like the federal government isn’t a frigging money laundering operation that hemmorhages 800B/yr into the black pit of military spending.
You think I don’t see what’s happening? You think there’s been some huge shift because Trump comes into office and starts breaking everything like a gorilla? That’s because you’re getting led around by the nose instead of following through diligently on everything that’s happening. The same U.S. imperial policies are continuing uninterrupted. The “Israel” policy is proof incarnate of that. You’re focused on trying to demonstrate 1% of difference between “Israel” policy between Trump and Biden, completely ignoring the 99% of similarity which absolutely begs the question, why the fuck are the openly fascist party and the so-called “opposition” completely in agreement that they SHOULD support a genocide. None of you seem to have a coherent answer for that question! Or the ten thousand others like it that don’t make it onto CNN or MSNBC or even Reuters or AP News. Because you don’t analyze the economy, you don’t analyze the federal budget, you don’t look at the revolving door with all the federal agencies and Wall Street and military contractors and oil interests and so on - all you focus on is attention-grabbing headlines that make you completely miss the big picture. You don’t understand that the empire even exists. You don’t understand that they’re meddling with every single country on Earth to impose an economic superstructure. That’s the problem with you people. It’s never slow, careful analysis, it’s REACT, REACT, REACT. You’re armchair analysts - you react to headlines and you repeat the same theories you heard from everyone else. You’re not educated. You’re brainwashed. You’re the automatons running around the imperial core, panicking every time the TV tells you to - and worst of all, never concerned with how you affect the rest of the world, only selfishly with your own wellbeing. That’s how you move so effortlessly from “there’s not a genocide happening” to “so what if there’s a genocide happening, the genocide would be even worse under Trump.” Somehow the lightbulb never even went off in your head, “why the fuck are our politicians arming a genocide.”
I’ve been using Oligarchy since about 2009. I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs since I fucken could that shit like Citizens United would lead to this and here we are. I’m not a fucken reactionary, I am exactly where I have been the last 15 fucken years. Biden didnt do any of this shit except uphold the status quo. This has been building for far longer than you or I have been alive. This is the fruition, the plan of Tzeentchian proportions coming to its fulcrum. And soon we will be nothing more than slaves if Disney State, or McDonald’s. You dont have to believe me. Look at our newly enshrined Chancellor raiding the Treasury. Be upset, good. Its how you should feel. But point that shit at the people fucking us up, not me. You dont even know who you are talking at cause my stance on the recent election was always you vote for the genocides or bring the genocide home, too. Thats the shit we were faced with. Shit and more shit because our government wanted to lick corporate asshole for half a century.
You stink of privilige if you can weather all thats happening.
You have no idea what my situation is, and it’s irrelevant.
Virtue doesn’t matter. Consequences do.
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.
Palestinian leaders begged US citizens to vote for Kamala Harris. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is the correct choice.
No. They didn’t.
