When the children are in charge.

America is experiencing a logistics crisis from the ports and warehouses to the store and our front door. We have nothing moving and the truckers are paying through the nose for diesel. Inflation is beating all of us now. And the government has Peter Buttigieg as the Secretary of Transportation.

First Buttigieg says he was at home for parental leave as he and his husband adopted two newborn children. The other Mr. Buttigieg does not work. Then with the ships still not offloading at the ports, Buttigieg starts talking about Robert Moses and the old stories that he designed the Parkways in Queens and Long Island so that buses couldn’t go to the Long Island beaches that Black and Puerto Rican kids had to use as their parents were too poor to own a car.

Our roads and bridges are crowded and falling apart. DC traffic is still a mess, and we can’t get products from Point A to Point B and Petey is talking about racist roads that were built 60, 70 years ago.

I don’t know if Moses did design roads to Long Island so buses couldn’t travel out that way, but Moses should be given credit for all the work he was able to accomplish to build bridges and highways in New York. New York has two boroughs that are islands, two boroughs that are on an island and one surrounded by water on three sides!
