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.

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

      OK, so you are saying the world started out “broken”? I guess it’d be best if a vacuum decay event just instantly wiped out humanity at the cradle in that case.
