    Last month, the Transportation Department told National Public Radio that liberals believe “that everyone should ride a bike to their shoebox-sized apartment to eat crickets to achieve a phony climate agenda.”

      eat crickets

      Oh, FFS, this shit again.

      This is straight out of the New World Order conspiracy theory bullshit, now being served up from those inside the fucking government.

      This is the same bullshit talking point these assholes all lifted from WEF talks or whatever and claim that this is the “globalist agenda” - get everyone into the city and take away their precious cars, their Kentucky Bluegrass yards and unlimited burned beef on the barbeque and make everyone eat bugs.

      Under the warped sensibility of conservatives, it is “common sense” to ruin anything good in the country.

      Thing is, that DoT suggestion probably isn’t a bad idea; I know of very few people who actually intend to do it, but the world would be a much better place if we all did.

        I’m down for the first two, especially since “shoebox” likely means anything smaller than a giant McMansion to park multiple giant trucks and SUVs, and a bunch of crap no-one needs.

        The third feels unnecessary when plants exist, but more power to those that want it.
