This is the only real solution. I would imagine a whole series of induction loops, that activate by sensing there is a device to power. Toaster from the kitchen can be moved to the table to do breakfast, put your phone down anywhere and it charges, vacuum the house wirelessly and without a battery. Take the espresso machine to your home office when working an all nighter.

Fried rice or noodles and whatever you want. Soy sauce and curry powder.

My boss once said, in front of all staff that it's proven that more money doesn't make people happy, and I suggested that we swap out paychecks. She laughed, nobody else did.

That's why governments subsidize agriculture, to keep the price down.

I know many people, including me, that fall victim to the manipulation of advertising.

Back in the olden days, it was "here is my product, and this is the price, if you like it buy from this store" Now it's not just the actual ad, it's product placement in tv and movies, celebrity endorsement, influencers, and all that.

Just remember that advertising costs money, and that is in the price of the product. Products that don't advertise can easily be better value.

I remember the bananas. They were 1-2 dollars a kilo for a long time. Then there was flooding and storms on the banana farms. Prices went up over 10 dollars a kilo. People complained but were told, it was the natural disaster and it's going to come down. Years later bananas haven't been cheaper than 4 dollars a kilo.

Supermarkets found the sweet spot where people would still buy bananas, and they make the most profit.
