Rep. Cori Bush is arguing for the installation of ZiL lanes in the United States, ZiL lanes being the private road lanes that Soviet government elites used to skip the Moscow traffic jams.

Bush is arguing that we must defund the police. At the same time, Bush is also arguing that taxpayers must be forced to pay for her private security. The Orwellian principle is the same as that of the ZiL lanes: All are equal, but some are more equal than others.
