Fury Road has a very strong theme of extractive/capitalist survival (represented by cars, gas, control of water etc) = bad, regenerative/communalist survival (represented by the mothers and plant life) = good. The action scenes are ofc designed to be cool but I think the broader environmental/social message is strong enough that the flame guitar doesn't drown it out.

I mean, most people could survive almost anywhere for a day. Yeah, people need shade, just like all animals do; which is naturally provided by trees, shrubs, big rocks, terrain features etc. It's true that there are places where humans have deliberately made the outdoors inhospitable by removing those features, but you can fix that by putting them back.
I can't watch the video right now, but here's an interesting article about a small village that set up their own bus service: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-66536184
It's a bit different from a typical bus service - rather than having a set route it runs on a rough timetable, and picks people up from their homes if it's not convenient for them to meet the bus in the village itself. It's currently partially volunteer run, but is an interesting model for rural areas.
