My opinions are all deeply suspect, except where software development is concerned.
I'm not a fan of the "hidden global variable framework" sort of DI. If you like it, though, then yes, this path is available to React as well.

React's biggest mistake was using classes as component types and instances of those classes (objects) as component instances. This ruined dependency injection in React forever. If they had used objects as component types instead, a lot would be improved.

But, Studio Ghibli is suddenly far more famous than it used to be, with far more fans that appreciate its work and know where it comes from.
Studio Ghibli will likely be getting a lot more work and commanding much higher prices.
Some artists are hurt by AI, but this one doesn't make your case.

How much machine do you have to use before it's no longer "by hand"?

Employees who are dedicated to their work get more done from home, but in companies with a lot of non-dedicated workers and (therefore) an adversarial relationship with management, WFH makes management nearly impossible and productivity tanks when there's no cracking whip.

OK, but "mother of 3 sons" doesn't support your opinion on this anymore than "father of 3 daughters" would support my opinion on the deep nature of girls.

You don't just need more homes. You need more *smaller, cheaper* homes. To get that, you just need to fix laws and regulations to make those profitable.
I don't know how things are where you live, but around here, minor landlords run terrible risks, because it's impossible to evict bad tenants.

I'm glad we have universal health care, but every time I need health care I find myself wishing that I could just pay for it instead of waiting for hours to prove that I want it enough.
We need a better way to decide who gets what in the non-life-threatening regime.

What we know as facts changes over time as we learn.
Free (dissenting) speech is the mechanism by which that happens.
Fact checking works against that by suppressing this dissenting speech, allowing only the reiteration of currently accepted facts.

But a lot of what makes you awesome is the result of some rich guy's drive to succeed. You want more people like that, not less, and so you should not single them out for punishment. If they feel that your country is hostile to them, they will not stick around.

Agree, but that's what property taxes are for, and they don't discriminate based on income or non-real-estate wealth.

I guess it depends what we mean by a "whopping big tax". I don't think the eat-the-rich crowd would be happy if the super rich were still happy.

It's naive to think that 24 billion would be spent so much better than the > 600 billion in taxes that the UK already collects.
