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.

          Do people dislike your opinions everywhere you go or just here? It may be time to reexamine some things internally

            Thanks for your fake concern but I don’t take mental health advice from passive aggressive people on the internet.

                Clearly you do even if you say you don’t. How vaxxed are you? Did you get your most recent booster?! It’s over dude. No one cares about your virtue signaling anymore. The truth is no one ever did.
