Ever heard of a proposed RULE carefully camouflaged as "ISA"? No? Well get ready...

Y'know who I think is the guy who should be setting national policy of...well, everything, cuz he so smaht?

biden's faaabulous secretary of transportation, Pete Buttigeig.  Cuz evert'ing he do iz SOOooo smaht!

F'rinstance, in Las Vegas in 2022 an illegal alien, high on cocaine and PCP and driving 100 mph hit another car, killing nine people.  So Mayor Pete's NTSB got right on that, and ten days ago they recommended a RULE!  Yep, starting in 2026 it will be illegal to drive if you're high on coke or PCP, or nodded out on smack or fentanyl.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!   Just kidding!  That's already illegal, but much to the surprise of the Democrats (and more importantly, mayor Pete), that LAW didn't  prevent this driver from killing nine people.  So Pete's employee, the female who currently heads the NTSB, recommended that starting in 2026 all cars sold in the U.S. would have to be equipped with very specifically capable speed limiting devices, called (wait for it) "Intelligent Speed Assistance."  

Doesn't that sound faaaabulous?

It would work from GPS, so when driving and you entered a 25 mph speed zone, the car wouldn't let you exceed that.  Or if you tried to force it to, you could be electrocuted--they haven't gotten all the details finalized yet.  But of course "if it saves even ONE life, it's worth it," right?

This RULE builds on the fantastic success of the Dems in passing a LAW that all cars sold starting in 2026 will be required to have the ability to allow the government to kill the ignition by remote control.  And of course Artificial Intelligence will ensure that no vehicle ignition is EVAH killed when the car is crossing a railroad track or trying to evacuate from a huge fire or anything like that, right?

The biden regime slipped that beauty into the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and not one of you noticed, eh?  Cuz dat jus' UN-possible, comrade.

Republicans in the House tried to pass an amendment of another law last month that would have repealed that part of the LAW, but 19 RINOs voted with the Democrats to kill that amendment.  Cuz the 19 are really Democrats who "identify as Republicans" to win in majority-GOP districts.

Hey, is this a great system or what?

Here's the NTSB press release:

You may notice that the NTSB carefully avoided mentioning that the driver in the fatal accident that spurred this new RULE was high on PCP and coke at the time.  All they'll say is "drug-impaired driving," which makes it sound like a guy who's had a beer.  

This idea has been SO warmly received that the regime is considering forcing appliance makers to use AI to help human owners make "safe, good, environmentally-correct choices."  For example, your clothes washer would know the numbers and ages of everyone in your home, and if you reached the number of loads allowed by the EPA for a week, the machine wouldn't start again til the next week.

Another idea being tested is a limit on the number of gallons of hot water per week.  We've long known that heating water takes a LOT of energy, so the device would keep track of the gallons used each week, and when the limit determined by the Department of Energy was reached, water wouldn't heat beyond 80 degrees or so until the start of the next week.  

"Climate activists" have pushed for no heat at all after reaching the weekly limit, and this remains on the table if the 19 RINOs join with the Democrats to put this in the new bill.

And of course anyone who complains will be jailed, but for a week or so.  After all, this isn't North Korea, right?   

Back on "Intelligent Speed Assistance," one conservative representative suggested that Americans would be much more in favor of executing people who used hard drugs.  That suggestion was roundly dismissed as crazy-talk.  Nancy Pelosi snorted "Next thing you know some Republican will be claiming we need to stop fentanyl from being smuggled across the southern border or some such nonsense!"
