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.
An economy?
I’m in Germany and people believe this. I say, if I have my credit card stolen, I can stop the card with my bank app and be refunded for the purchases the thief made.
If they have their 500€ of cash stolen, that’s it. It’s gone. No amount of crying about how cash is king will bring it back.
I make some great dishes like that
Even better, abolish all “transaction fees”, enforce a flat percentage rate only on purchases, no per transaction amount.
Means spending with your card is no more expensive than with cash. Where I work, we don’t accept cash and it has made the end of day so much faster when you don’t have to count cash (and find mistakes etc)

I read that the caddies call him “Pelé” because of is football skills on the course.
