Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg last week publicly indicted America’s construction industry, implying there was some sort of racial bias in its hiring practices. The comment betrayed Buttigieg’s woeful ignorance about the critical labor issues facing the construction industry, which could derail President Biden’s infrastructure and electric vehicle manufacturing initiatives.
Coupled with his failure to address the toxic aftermath of a train derailment in Ohio, Buttigieg should resign.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg claims he wants to improve road safety in America, and recently announced $800 million in taxpayer giveaways to various cities and towns to finance infrastructure improvements. If Buttigieg was genuinely serious about improving road safety, he would heed mounting warnings from transportation safety officials and automotive reviewers and call for an immediate ban of GM’s Hummer EV.
That GM CEO Mary Barra aims to profit from such a monster vehicle whose brakes are widely regarded as inadequate, suggests a certain moral and ethical depravity.
Michigan taxpayers appear on the verge of subsidizing a joint venture between Ford and a China-owned battery company that Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin wanted no part of.

Millionaire tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch turned investigative journalist is running circles around the corporate media ferreting out alarming information about Covid vaccines and treatments. Unfortunately, his interpretation of what he uncovers too often is recklessly incorrect.
About a half dozen publications, including CNN, reported Friday that the CDC had identified a possible safety issue with the bivalent Covid-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech but the agency insisted that it’s likely a statistical quirk and nothing to worry about. The CDC urged people to keep jabbing themselves with the vaccine.
I was impressed the CDC felt compelled to disclose a danger it deemed insignificant, but I’ve since learned there was another possible reason for the agency’s transparency.
Some hard truths about GM CEO Mary Barra and why I regard Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Board, a hero.
The demand from Ontario’s College of Psychologists that Dr. Jordan Peterson confess he sinned for making impolitic comments and undergo a “coaching program” of remedial education has drawn international attention as to why Canada will never realize its formidable potential.
A primer on how justice is meted out in America by the country’s top law enforcement agency.
Meet Tiffany Hsu, the New York Times tech reporter responsible for covering “misinformation and disinformation.” That makes her the publication’s arbiter of what constitutes truth.
