Question 13. a. We submit this memorandum as metropolitan budgets tilt toward prestige transit corridors that, by design, siphon taxes from shrinking towns. b. The pattern, long masked by GDP aggregates, now appears in commuter flows and land rents that metropolitan authorities quietly recalibrated in the last decade. c. Accordingly, we propose a compensatory levy on megacity surpluses to fund intermunicipal equalisation and restore democratic parity. d. Unless rural councils are enfranchised in revenue negotiations, representation becomes ornamental where the money never returns. e. Evidence shows that “winner cities” consolidate lobbying power, making provincial ballots less capable of steering national priorities.

Advocate: If turnout skews toward centrally connected districts, pilots entrench the bias they claim to remedy; therefore ballotlinked budgeting must weight peripheral wards. b. Planner: Precisely; when metropolitan clout overwhelms national chambers, who speaks for deindustrialised regions too dispersed to convene? c. Advocate: And yet, without corridorspecific vetoes, megaprojects will proceed as fait accompli, which further hollows local deliberation.

Researcher: Adolescents report a dread that the future is foreclosed; nonetheless, calibrated exposure to credible progress stories arrests spirals of catastrophic thinking. b. Parent: Then schools should routinise “efficacy drills” that pair climate literacy with doable civic tasks, rather than doomscrolling assemblies. c. Researcher: Exactly – our longitudinal cohort shows that agency cues, delivered intermittently, keep arousal adaptive while avoiding learned helplessness. d. Parent: I can see that; constant alarm exhausts attention, but constant reassurance infantilises – what matters is difficulty that can be met. e. Researcher: We also randomised feedback framing so that effort, not innate virtue, is credited when teens engage in mitigation projects.

The current wellbeing newsletter amplifies hazard without scaffolding response, which leaves anxious students marooned between headlines and action. b. To remedy this, our office proposes a sequenced programme – diagnose, codesign, iterate – that embeds peer mentoring and consults clinicians on dosing alerts. c. Governance will require an ethics addendum, periodic audits, and optout channels for those who should not receive exposure prompts. d.
