Austria to Offer Free Public Transport for Life for Citizen Who Cuts Off Their Limbs
In a bizarre turn of events, the Austrian government has announced a new scheme to get its citizens to use public transportation. The scheme offers citizens a year of free nationwide public transportation in exchange for getting a tattoo. Yes, you read that right; they want you to get a tattoo. As if that wasn’t ridiculous enough, many people are questioning the government’s motives behind such an unusual initiative.
While some claim that this is a clever way to encourage people to use public transportation more, others are questioning the safety of it. Getting a tattoo is a permanent decision that could have serious health risks and side effects. It’s not something that should be taken lightly, especially when the government is the one offering it.
Despite the criticism, the government is sticking to their guns. “We believe that this is the best way to encourage people to use public transportation,” said one official. “We’re willing to take the risk to make our public transport system more popular and reduce the traffic on our roads.”
The tattoos would have to be specific designs and are set to feature the government’s logo, which has also raised further questions about the scheme’s intentions. Critics are calling it a blatant attempt at brainwashing the citizens and turning them into loyal government supporters.
But it doesn’t stop there. The government has also announced a plan to offer free public transportation for life for anyone who cuts off their limbs. Yes, you read that right too. They want you to amputate your limbs. This announcement has sent shock waves through the country and sparked a fierce debate on social media.
Many are calling for the government to rethink this plan, stating that it’s unethical and promotes self-harm. However, the government is standing by their decision, claiming that it’s a viable solution to reduce traffic congestion and pollution.
“We understand that this might sound extreme, but the truth is, it’s what needs to be done,” said another official. “We’re willing to make sacrifices for the greater good, and if that means having a few less limbs, then so be it.”
The government has yet to announce how they plan to enforce this initiative or what type of prosthetics they would provide to those who do take up their offer.
Many citizens are left scratching their heads and wondering what’s next. Will the government start offering free housing in exchange for getting branded or perhaps free healthcare if you shave off your hair? It’s hard to say, but one thing is for sure: the Austrian government is willing to go to extreme lengths to promote their public transportation system.
