Also you can just lose focus, make a mistake, and drive into something. People do so all the time in cars, why wouldn’t they on bikes? Bike injuries can be very serious if you are unlucky and hit your head wrong. Wear helmets people!

Consolidation in real-estate and the entertainment industry are why. In real-estate it leads to higher rents and mortgages, which for restaurants makes the location more expensive, but also the staff because they need to make rent as well. In entertainment it’s all just ticketmaster, which owns venues and the ticketing system. That makes them able to double dip on every ticket, since they can charge exorbitant rents for event locations, and also take IIRC a 30% fee on every ticket sold.

That’s also something you could prevent by not allowing children of clergy to become priests.

Come to think of it, that may be a good idea for politicians as well. Children of politicians often get internships and opportunities through their parents, which gives them a massive networking advantage if they eventually want to hold office themselves.

Not unless you choose really slow hard drives, or stream very high bitrate media. Most hard drives can easily do 100MB/s sequentially (i.e. reading a large file, such as long video files). Meanwhile high-bitrate 4K video is only about 50Mbit/s, so about 6MB/s.

Yup, adopting the Euro as currency would be my first condition. They threw a lot of privilege and bargaining power away out of pride, so that pride should be injured as much as possible (but without emiserating the common people).
