Because of environmental issues (better to live close to work, less carbon pollution) and globalisation agenda, the rural areas of the world are lost forever. The rural areas will become as in the movie Mad Max, totally without and control from government.
Politicians will never address the rural areas in a positive way, because they know they will loose city votes. That’s why you always here generic promises, like “more police” and such, then they also get the city votes.
- systemtest 8y agoThe Veluwe area in The Netherlands already has a civilian patrol that even has multiple helicopters. This is a direct result of the police closing down stations in rural areas. https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/veluwse-knokploeg-met-helikopter-jaagt-op-criminelen~a915d9a3/ https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/veluwse-knokploeg-met-helikopte...

The rural areas will become as in the movie Mad Max, totally without and control from government. Not necessarily -- at the first sign of disruption, e.g. a large economy crash, a peak oil related problems, climate change related catastrophes, it's the cities that will become like in Zombie movies. Rural areas can be much more self-sustainable when it comes to the essentials. (Someone feels invested enough in city life to downvote a pretty standard argument. And yet this is how people survived major wars and famines in the city in my country -- by having an outlet to grow vegetables etc. in the countryside).
