Great contribution, thank you. I am an admirer of 19th Century engineering and inventions, and it is good to have someone around, to ground me, so to speak. ๐
By your permission, I would like to tap more of your knowledge.

Would you care to provide more information?
Do we have an XMPP room/muc for all people to chat here?

Public services - especially regarding persons with disabilities (PwD) - are being increasingly starved.
In Poland, effectively 1st of January, the caretaker support (for people not employed due to taking full time care of their disabled relatives) has been replaced with "supportive money", much harder to obtain and in lower amount. New parliament is promising substantial rises, but there is no money in sight to back them up.
In UK, as almost 20% of municipalities warns about imminent bankruptcy, an old idea to "warehouse" PwD looms again.
So, after 3 years, did this post age well?
I believe the answer will depend on local circumstances. The copper will always be needed - it is a matter of mix proportions. As long as we can keep the supply chain short-ish and local, we are good.
