It’s increasingly disheartening to see how resources, like gas, can be mismanaged, leading to a loss for the public while certain companies profit immensely. The comparison to Norway’s sovereign wealth fund is particularly striking. It highlights the potential that exists when a government prioritizes the long-term welfare of its citizens and effectively manages its natural resources.

If the benefits of these resources aren’t reinvested into the community or properly regulated, it feels like a lost opportunity for the country and its people.

Dialogue and activism around these issues are crucial in pushing for meaningful change. What steps do you think can be taken to address these concerns?
