 ⚡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿The world is clutching its pearls because Scotland has done the unthinkable: passed a bill that doesn’t quietly funnel money upward, sideways, or into a mysterious “consultancy fee”—but actually sends it back to local communities. Yes, you read that correctly. Money. Back. To. The. People. 😱

While other governments nervously rehearse speeches about “fiscal responsibility” (translation: hold onto your wallets), Scotland just kicked open the door and asked, “What if communities actually benefited from what’s built in their backyard?” Revolutionary stuff.

💸 The Day the Cash Flow Changed Direction

Somewhere in a polished boardroom, a lobbyist just spilled their artisan oat latte. Because this bill doesn’t just tweak the system—it rewires it. Instead of profits evaporating into corporate black holes, a slice of the pie is staying local. Schools, parks, small businesses, community projects—the boring, wholesome stuff that doesn’t usually make hedge funds salivate.

And here’s the delicious irony: the policy isn’t about chaos. It’s about accountability. It’s about the idea that if infrastructure, energy, or development projects use local land and resources, the local people should see tangible returns. Madness, apparently.

Cue the global commentators warning that civilization will crumble because communities might—brace yourself—have funding. The horror. 🫢

Let’s be honest. The outrage isn’t really about economics. It’s about precedent. Because once one government proves you can prioritize citizens without summoning financial Armageddon, others might feel… pressure. And pressure is terribly inconvenient when you’ve built an entire political career on “there’s no alternative.”
