It states that new cars in Europe have been widening at an average rate of 1 cm every two years, with approximately half of the newly sold vehicles already surpassing the suitable width for planned street parking spaces.

#Transportation Sec. Pete #Buttigieg on What Passengers Need to Know Before #Traveling for the #Holidays This Year
"If you do need our help, we are here to have your back," Sec. Buttigieg said.

Here's a refreshing tale of telling #truth to #GQP power.... although some in that cult are just not 'educable', or interested.

Pete Buttigieg just testified before Congress. It did not go well for Republicans

“I don’t know if you can justify or how you justify forcing my constituents to pay for EVs [electric vehicles] and EV infrastructure for coastal elites and wealthy people, but somehow you do,” Rep. Perry told Secretary Buttigieg.
“Well, I need to point out that wealthy people were specifically excluded from the Inflation Reduction Act,” Buttigieg replied.

“I’m not against cutting the cost. The market should do it,” Perry replied. “But you want the government, you want my taxpayers to pay to cut the cost.” Buttigieg then asked about subsidies for the oil and gas companies, which cost the American taxpayer billions of dollars annually.
“If you are of the view that there should be no subsidy to propulsion vehicles, then are you against oil and gas subsidies?” Buttigieg asked.
