In a previous post I wrote about how Denmark's succdem-led right-wing regime plans to save rural public transit by simply not paying bus drivers. Today they released their full plan on how to save the declining countryside.

Recognising how public transit is insufficient in the countryside they plan to allow 17 year olds to drive unsupervised unlike today when 17 year olds are allowed to drive under the supervision of an adult. The regime promises that the young drivers will not abuse this scheme to have fun as they will only be allowed on the roads from 5 AM to 8 PM, time enough for school and work but not for socialising in weekends.

The national council for traffic safety as well as several road safety experts are highly critical of the scheme, predicting that it will lead to more dead and injured in traffic accidents. The regime, however, claims that they believe in young people, saying that we have the most responsible generation ever.

Getting more cars and more unsafe drivers on the roads are not enough though, to save the countryside they also want to slash planning laws, allowing the repurposing of "unnecessary" agricultural buildings into residential or tourism-related purposes. The plan also allows for more construction of vacation homes near the coastline, something that is currently completely banned, and for the establishment of "glamping" in the open countryside. Rural areas are already full of nature so who will notice if they build a vacation park here or there? Besides, what have all those meadows and beaches and forests ever done for us? It is time they do their part as well.

The regime counts on this to bring huge private investments to declining rural areas.

In the less insane part of the proposal they plan to provide a bit of funding for municipalities that do green energy as well as for giving students in rural municipalities a tax deduction for their commute to school.

I got recommended this YouTube video (Venezuela’s most dangerous beach) and this hype man gets on a packed bus speaking rapid spanish and he says “the last one to greet me with enthusiasm is a Maduro supporter.” He draws a few chuckles.

Is anyone else having trouble bypassing paywalls today? What to use now? 12ft.io is pretty screwy for me, too, and sometimes Archive.ph just archives the "please log in" page.

Raelene Lockhorst specialises in infrastructure development at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a Defence-funded think tank.

Ms Lockhorst said FIFO was an "expensive quick fix", but the federal government needed to be up-front about its long-term plans and upskill permanent workers in regional and remote areas.

"[The northern bases projects] need to be maintained and then, in another 10 years, there will be a refresh, and, in 20 years, there will be a redevelopment," she said.

"The primary school kids today are our boots on the ground in 2035."
