And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

A meme with two panels. The first panel is a scene of agrovoltaics - farmers growing crops underneath solar panels in a field - with the caption "solar panels waste our fertile soil and destroy our beautiful rural landscapes".

The second panel is an image of a coal power plant with smoke billowing from its smokestacks looming behind a field of crops. The caption reads "but this is cool?'
