The car-centric alternative requires more expensive infrastructure and more aggressive zoning regulations

Your EV argument does not address the main issue of urban sprawl in car-centric design and how the ever-increasing infrastructure costs (and decreased revenue: parking lots dont create wealth) are bankrupting cities.

You can't pass on the free trial? Seems like a bit of a dark pattern, I would like to test out the free version of the app before deciding if I want more features.

We use an Airtable with a simple script block[0] for generating the shopping list. Its a bit cumbersome to input all meals/recipes, but unless you are constantly adding meals to your rotation it works really well.

I think he means Dominic Cummings and his links to Cambridge Analytica during the Brexit campaign
