Look at yourself; you're unable to prove my claim false.

 BF>    Data from the National Transportation Safety Board showed that EVs
 BF> were involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold.

Right. My claim about EVs was that "There's been an unprecedented number of EVs catching fire during Pete's administration." You're simply using the Chewbacca defense to prove a related, but totally differnt point.

 BF>    Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475
 BF> hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every 100,000 sold.
 BF> 
 BF>    If you don't understand why an ICE, Internal Combustion Engine, car --

There's nothing for me to understand because this is a conversation about EVs catching fire at an unprecedented rate since Pete began his DEI gig.

 BF>  AT> Yea, he needs to do something about that. He can't make laws, but he 
 BF>  AT> enforce them. But he's too busy hanging around with Steven Colbert.
 BF> 
 BF>    And you get this information from where? Fox News? Truth Social?

No. I got it from watching the Stephen Colbert Show, where Pete sat down on the couch for some laughs while other Americans were being burnt to death in EVs.

 BF> Infrastructure Law. Since the law's passage, Secretary Buttigieg and his
 BF> team have focused on effectively delivering the investments provided by
 BF> this legislation, enabling the most significant improvements in U.S.
 BF> transportation infrastructure in over half a century.

What improvements?

 BF>    The Secretary has also focused on intervening to support American
 BF> supply chains dealing with shockwaves from the pandemic, including
 BF> measures to help cut in half the long-dwelling container congestion at
 BF> America's largest ports.

"In 2022, eight of the 10 largest US ports experienced an average of seven days of congestion, meaning ships had to wait almost a week outside the ports to unload their cargo. In 2023, some say that West and East Coast ports experienced the worst congestion since the beginning of containerization. As of December 2023, the Ports of LA and Long Beach were expected to be busy and may see an early peak season."

 BF>    Other major initiatives in his early tenure have included a
 BF> comprehensive national roadway safety strategy to reduce deaths and
 BF> serious injuries;

How? What's the strategy? Getting idiots to parrot the words "there's a strategy?"

 BF>    delivery of emergency COVID-19 relief funds to transit agencies across
 BF> America;

Why do transit agencies need COVID-19 relief funds?

 BF> 
 BF>    and awards of over $9.5 billion in discretionary funding to enhance
 BF> transportation through over 800 projects in communities across America.

We must appreciate the word "discretionary" because I've been all over the east coast this summer and I didn't run into any construction projects.
