I’m gonna leave this up because people are commenting on it, but IMO it’s borderline off-topic. This is an article about political corruption in Federal procurement, and only incidentally mentions cars because they happen to be the item being procured. Try to stick a little closer to “problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all” next time.
Edit: I just noticed that the person who posted this is the other mod, LOL. I guess we should have a chat to make sure we’re on the same page re: rule 4.
The superior yield for corruption in the procurement of fleets of cars for a State seems like a Fuck Cars issue to me.
I mean, I can see how there could be corruption in the procurement of State Bicycles or State Employee Walking Shoes, but the values involved would be way lower.
And this is without going into the whole point made by somebody else that Governments having and using fleets of cars (especially State officials) incentivises them to have pro-car policies.

I dunno, there isn’t much more “fuck cars” than this particular “fuck these cars”. Thanks for leaving it up either way.
Wow, you’re an asshole. People post fucking images of text all the time, and you do nothing.
Someone posts a link to an actual on topic article from a credible source and you say you almost ban it.
How about actually cleaning up all the low effort crap posted here? That’s where you should be focusing your efforts.
You shouldn’t insult people doing volunteer work, period. You look like someone who’d scream at referees in children’s football games.
