2nd openly gay guy in a POTUS Cabinet will end all racial and other world's problems with trains and buses somehow

What, me worry?

Nobody knows how he's going to do it, but if anyone can fight racial, economic and environmental injustice and even understand what that all means, it's the former Mayor of a relatively average size town known as South Bend, in Indiana. In fact, it wouldn't surprise anyone if Pete Buttigieg (D) decides to petition to have the name of his state changed to Native Americana or something less offensive than Indiana, because that's how Pete rolls.

As the proposed head of the Department of Transportation, Buttigieg is in a position to affect how people see each other and affect the American economy. Will he lower or raise bus fare? Will he demand signs be placed in trains and along highways and byways that denounce racism and environmental injustice? Will he detail to the average Joe and Josephine exactly what is meant by environmental injustice and how he plans to fight it?

Nobody knows and he's not saying. But the one thing we know is that he couldn't even deal with South Bend's pothole problem and the local Dominos Pizza had to get involved in the town to assuage the problem.

During Buttigieg's speech, he warned there was a dark side to the DOT just like there is a dark side to the bubble wrap and Pez dispenser industries. No one saw that coming but Buttigieg is on it.

“At it’s worst, misguided policies and missed opportunities can reinforce racial, economic, and environmental injustice, dividing or isolating neighborhoods,” he said convincingly, and he promised to work to deliver “equity” and “empower everyone to thrive.”

But how? He never explained nor said what the word salad meant.

As required, he criticized President Trump’s approach to infrastructure, promising to work so “the idea of an infrastructure week is associated with results and never again a media punchline,” possibly in reference to a joke where a lady gets on a bus with her baby. The driver says, "Yuck. That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen!" The woman walks to the back of the bus and angrily sits down. She says to the guy next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The guy says: "You go up there and tell him off. Go on, go and I'll hold your monkey for you."

Anyway, Buttigieg claims that he's a transportation buff and cited his love of riding on Amtrak choo-choos and how he used to study while traveling aboard a cargo ship. He even told the heartfelt story of how he met his husband at Chicago's O'Hare airport and how airports are romantic [in spite of people sleeping across the benches, the odor of the farts and the food kiosks]. 

“Don’t let anybody tell you that O’Hare is not romantic,” he said wistfully.

Biden mistakenly introduced Buttigieg as the “first openly gay nominee to lead a cabinet department.” He discounted the fact that President Trump appointed Ric Grennell, the first openly gay cabinet member, and Grennell was confirmed by the Senate as U.S. ambassador to Germany then later appointed as acting Director of National Intelligence. 

Biden had made another inaccurate claim that Deb Haaland was the first Native American to be appointed to a top position [she is to head the Department of the Interior] and totally discounted Charles Curtis, a Republican and Native American who was our Vice President under Herbert Hoover from 1929 to 1933.
