@lightweight It's not like we need to grow more trees or anything...

@vik heh, nope. Strikes me that all this 'austerity' is a great way to push privatisation down the track.... which is, I believe, what this gov'ts real constituents want to see...

@lightweight Yup, politicians are either cutting government services so their mates can barge in, or creating government services so their mates can run them. Kind of win-win as long as you're on the winning side.

@vik yep. The only downside is that everyone else (the mere 99%) is worse off, and their quality of life diminishes.

@lightweight Pretty much Doesn't do much for the environment either in this case.

@vik of course not - that's part of the Commons and should (according to this gov't's playbook) be privatised for the exclusive profit of the ruling class... who aren't us (here in the Fediverse).

@lightweight Last politician strangled with the guts of the last bureaucrat etc.
