"programs and activities... should prioritize projects that improve transportation for 'families with young children' and 'give preference to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average.' This memo applies to DOT and DOT-supported grants, loans and contracts"

sarcismy2ndfav-asm.bsky.social•23 days ago

They mean places with higher "white" birthrates, correct?

"...the memo also blocks recipients of DOT funding from implementing “mask mandates,” a reference to requirements transit agencies followed to limit the spread of infection during the height of COVID-19."

Sorry, I only follow memos that have the approved TPS cover sheets on them. Yeah.

Minority communities have higher birth rates than white communities. I wonder if he knows that.

rayme77.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yep his state ranks towards the bottom in birth rates and marriage rates.

geekegirl.bsky.social•23 days ago

I believe that was why they added marriage.

tm71.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes and they’ll find some way to absolutely cut these communities OUT. While they want birth rates UP, that really only applies to WHITE BIRTHS. This admin IS a Nazi regime. Full stop. Also, forced birth is a crime against humanity according to the UN. Just wanted to throw that in as a reminder.

jjbluiz.bsky.social•23 days ago

😂 West “votes blazing red” Virginia #WV is oozing with old people and lousy roads. It is spectacularly rural. All the interstate highways guide the young to other states with jobs.

goodwitchglinda.bsky.social•23 days ago

Don't miss the very end: The memo also requires recipients to comply with federal immigration enforcement in order to receive funding — the latest effort by the admin to target undocumented immigrants, conduct mass arrests & deportations, & deny federal transportation funds to sanctuary cities.

bluejwoo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Doesn’t he have (check notes) more important things to do right now?

We know what we need to do. Everyone not married, go get a sham civil marriage. Get divorced if you ever want to get married.
