Doesn't mean you bin the whole thing, otherwise we wouldn't do anything, but it does mean you have to look at failure mitigation.

It depends, a big shopping centre you drive to/get driven to/take a bus to can probably be more convenient in a wheelchair/on crutches than visiting several independent shops within a 15 minute walk radius.

lots of high street businesses already offer a home visit service for people who can't get to their location for whatever reason, presumably this would be even easier in a 15 minute city scenario

Also the other big failure, relevant again to card machines, is some of them take the easy route of just excluding the estates where the majority of the non-gentrified working class actually exist from the definition of people. That's more a complaint I've seen in US discussion, but yeah if we want all cashless we need universal banking/giro access, and if we want all 15 minutes, we need reliable transit from all those areas. And neither of those are why the Mail dislikes either.

keep punching joe posted:Daily Mail ran two articles today complaining about pubs favouring cashless transactions. I don't get it, why are old people so wedded to using cash for everything. As a person who is both poor & absolutely dogshit at budgeting & has very little impulse control I much prefer being able to take out £X at the start of a night out from an ATM, and thus it is impossible to spend more money than I'd expected without going to the ATM again. Which I could do, but also it's an extra layer of bullshit to make me reconsider if it's actually a smart idea to spend more money. The same theory is why I just don't have a debit card. In fact I still use the bank account I had as a small child which doesn't even allow me to get overdrawn even by a penny. It's a terrible account with essentially gently caress all interest, but I'm not well off enough to actually have enough money to generate any noticeable interest. If I want to spend money online then I have to buy a gift card. I don't just have a way to empty my account on garbage without thinking about it until I get my statement at the end of the month. Now, it has its downsides, not all places you'd want to spend money online have gift cards. Used to be able to mitigate this with Tesco selling Visa giftcards which were super useful, but seemingly they got stopped because of *criminals*. So If I got banned from SA I'm probably not buying my way out of the ban for a while but  Better that than me deciding at 3am that what'll fill the hole in my soul is a £110 history book on Feliks Dzerzhinsky. I got overdrawn once, entirely by accident & then suddenly I went from £9 in the red to several times that before I even looked at the balance. So I realised I couldn't really trust myself the hard way. Now if I got to the end of the month & fell short on money, well, it'll suck to go those last few days rationing what food is in the cupboard but better that than racking up bills to the bank which just guarantees you'd be in the same hole at the end of next month & suddenly it's a cycle of poo poo.There is also a tiny part of my brain which likes the gap between my bank knowing that I took out £100 & my bank knowing how exactly I spent that £100, I feel like if anyone wants that much of my personal data then they can pay me for the privilege. This is entirely irrational & paranoid but hey, it's not like it's my sole motivation at least.

My dad's legacy was installing the SCADA computer systems for South West Water that operated the new pumping stations and water treatment plants- - projects that were funded in the 90's with EU money to clean up our beaches to EU standards. He voted for Brexit and voted Tory all his life. It's a shame he's not still alive to witness how it's all turned out.

The trick is to never read Daily Mail comments (switching off javascript for the site helps with that). It should also be worth pointing out that Lineker doesn't appear to have had an 18 hour window where he wasn't tweeting. In other news, billionaires love Starmer https://x.com/SkyNews/status/1792118740827373829
