Only two days in office and the Biden administration is already considering breaking President Biden’s campaign promise that “anyone making less than $400,000 a year won’t pay a penny more” in taxes.

During his Senate confirmation hearing for Transportation Secretary, Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg told members of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee that a gas tax increase is “on the table” as a means to pay for infrastructure spending.

When asked directly by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) if he supported increasing the gas tax and by what amount, Buttigieg replied, "I think all options need to be on the table, as you know, the gas tax hasn't been increased since 1993 and it's never been pegged to inflation."

“There are several different models, in the short to medium term that could include revisiting the gas tax, adjusting it, and or connecting it to inflation," Buttigieg continued when pressed by Sen. Scott to provide more detail.

Without saying too much, I get the chemistry.

Also, if you drink blood of any quantity, say more than a few ounces, you will throw up.

That much I know is false. History is full of blood drinkers. Human blood or otherwise supposedly. Bloody meat eaters as well. People still drink raw animal blood today too. There are also a good number of dishes that have blood as a major ingredient. Little stopping anyone healthy from consuming blood other than themself.

Cooked blood and raw are two different things. Sipping blood from a cup isn’t enough.

Ive personally watched people drink raw blood. No small ammount either. People have been drinking blood since god knows when. You say that makes people vomit. I know for a fact it does not.
