Reader Question: Worthless Collateral?

Denver spent billions in a new section of interstate I-70 through town recently.  These are federal dollars and this happens all over the place.  If the idea is to not drive, why these projects now?

Why is air travel in this country subsidized and even encouraged, leisure air travel, when it is basically non-critical to society but driving and commuting affordably is?

My reply: Well, for the same reason there were still a few Japanese soldiers fighting WWII after the surrender occurred on the battleship Missouri. There is still mopping up to do. As regards gas cars sold over the past six years or so: They would never have been sold if the EV pushers had main clear their ultimate goal. It was (and still is) necessary to push incrementally (though ever-more-aggressively) toward the ultimate goal. The hope is that by the time people figure it out, it will be too late.

Same as regards air travel. That is still allowed – for the present. But the plan is to all-but-forbid it. This has even been publicly stated.

We approach the fork in the road. We’ll see which path we take.
