The war on carbon is in full swing in cities around the world with the rapid introduction and saturation of electric scooters and bicycles. Pedestrians and car owners are equally livid with the mess it is creating.
The Complete Streets Act being promoted in the Senate and House is straight out of the UN's playbook for implementing Sustainable Development. Complete Streets is an initiative of Smart Grown America.
The UN's term "Resilient" means anything you want: "improving mobility", "breaking down structural racism", "any social and infrastructural fault line", "predictive analysis" and even weather forecasting.
The NGO Bycs is promoting the election of 'Bike Mayors' in cities around the world in order to get people out of their cars altogether in favor of bicycles. This has been a general initiative of Agenda 21 since 1992.
For decades, Tom and I have been ridiculed for exposing Agenda 21, but now that it is exposed in its full dis-glory and radical un-splendor, thanks to AOC and the Green New Deal, the shoe is now on the other foot.
The UN's Agenda 21 and 2030 Agenda are personified by this propaganda: "walking comes first, bicycles and scooters second and public transport third. Cars should only come in fourth place." That's right, you can walk wherever you need to go.
The U.N. is the solo driver for planetary Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy. As a totally managed economic system run by science and engineering, it will be a Scientific Dictatorship and that will be the governance. Government as we know it will not be necessary.
Electric bicycle and scooter rentals are the latest craze to give urban dwellers 'alternative transportation' to eliminate carbon. Scooters in particular have cause a pandemic of injured riders. Residents in San Francisco detest these sidewalk intruders, and are moving to have them banned.
Seattle has long-claimed the mantle of leadership for any leftist, eco-friendly, Agenda 21 supporting policies that comes down the pike, and yet its practice falls far from matching its rhetoric, and likely never will. Such policies do nothing but increase prices, stifle property rights and saddle businesses with ridiculous rules and regulations.
