With oil over $80/barrel and gas prices are rising, it's a bad time for Biden to ban oil development on 13 million acres in Alaska. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/04/19/ame…

Biden’s executive branch overreach, placing parts of Alaska off limits to the development of oil, natural gas, and critical minerals, makes America weaker and more dependent on China. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/04/19/ame…

Earth Day is April 22, and once again President Biden is putting the American people last by today’s actions that put parts of Alaska off limits to the development of oil, natural gas, and critical minerals. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/04/19/ame…

Chattanooga Volkswagen workers rejected UAW in 2014 and 2019. Should they do so again this week? Auto jobs at UAW's Big 3 have declined, and some moved to China. washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/… Heritage Foundation

for Volkswagen unionization starts today. Big Three are laying off Detroit auto workers because unionization raises costs for cars. Do Volkswagen workers want to risk their jobs by voting yes? washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/… Heritage Foundation

starts today: Do Volkswagen workers want to pay over $1,000 a year in UAW dues to shore up Big 3 Detroit pensions and pay union bosses' salaries? washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/… Heritage Foundation

Crazy that Petaluma City Council wants to build bike lane along truck route with fire station, named by Sonoma County as a street with the most severe injuries.

Cyclists will die.

If NYC truly wanted to reduce congestion (rather than taxing drivers to bail out transit), it could reduce bike lanes and docking stations; keep more curb space for deliveries; get rid of dining areas in roads. Heritage Foundation nationalreview.com/2024/04/new-yo…

In NYC below 60th Street, giving a ride to a sick person for a doctor’s appointment, or picking up a parent to go to your house for lunch, will now cost an extra $15 tax. Make them ride the subway? nationalreview.com/2024/04/new-yo… Heritage Foundation

Congestion taxes hurt the elderly and poor and don't always reduce traffic jams. London’s congestion charge has been in place for over 20 years, yet London tops the world in traffic delays. Heritage Foundation

How can truckers take two hours off the road to recharge?! EPA's out-of-touch rule to have 25% electric trucks by 2032 would raise costs of everything we buy. Heritage Foundation epa.gov/regulations-em…

Banning gasoline-powered cars has disproportionate effect on small businesses and agriculture = higher prices for services and food, more inflation. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/03/21/bid…
