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.
This is going to benefit communities with a lot of hispanic families, lmao.
Inb4 non-white children born only count as three fifths
They will have more work to do and it will be closer to home. Win win!
Gonna solve that 101 freeway issue right quick
They’ll find some way to draw up a beneficial neighborhood map that excludes black and brown neighborhoods.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets tied to income
They already messed with the 2020 census, so red states will benefit from everything more.
Good point. Maybe it will be something like: ‘Households already receiving benefits will be ineligible for this program’, and they will count something like food stamps or a child attending public school will keep them out.
As someone else has said, I’m afraid we are giving them ideas.
“This neighborhood has too high of a birth mortality rate, let’s pick this white neighborhood instead”
Nah, it will be more racist than that. It will just say “High birth rates of people, PS, we don’t consider non whites to actually be people.”
Maybe they’ll even draw the lines in red
They would probably make the lines blue, because they are trying to continue that, and avoid the possibly negative SEO of Red Lining.
Not to mention, blue means democrat. If the lines are blue they can blame it on the democrats when things go wrong!
