Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.
Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.
On a scale from DEI to communism, how woke are you?
God this is so fucking stupid
“Bike lanes and segregated bike paths infringe on my rights to run them over in my jacked up diesel spewing monster truck!”
At this point, i would vote for a planet-killing asteroid if i could. Why are Americans allowing this to happen?
Are they not?
they definitely are. only gay people would ride bikes. I should know, I’m huge into bikes. but I don’t ride them, of course. that’d be gay.
I mean that they’re inclusive of poor people. Almost anyone can afford a bicycle. Only rich people can afford a car
Also bicycle infrastructure makes our cities more equitable
Oh stfu.
This is dumb, but arguably bike lanes do promote inclusion.
Yeah, pretty sure they dont actually care what the initialism means, its just a word to scare their base into opposing progress and give them more control.
