The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is considering new regulations to ban the sale of all diesel semi-trucks by 2040 to fight climate change and rectify a legacy of racist practices, according to a CARB report released on Aug. 30.

The proposal would require medium and heavy-duty trucks entering ports and railyards to be fully electric by 2035, according to the report. CARB believes that such freight vehicles should be banned because the diesel emissions that come from such vehicles disproportionately affect low-income and minority communities due to racist zoning policies.

Racist zoning policies. I wonder who sets zoning policies in California. Is it truckers?

That... doesn't make any sense.

"Hey, let's make it impossibly expensive to ship goods, which will increase the cost of everything even more, because... negros and border hoppers tend to live in more densely populated areas with more trucks, which is somehow racism and not their decision."

Newsflash: there isn't enough Lithium on earth for electric powered truck shipping!

This is the lunacy you see before a nation falls. California is clearly falling first.

We can accelerate the process by forcing them to supply their own water...
