Going to China
Regarding cashless, I have no QR payment system on my phone and I get along fine 99% of the time. The exceptions are the vending machines that are popping up everywhere (including airports), and a very few restaurants/ coffee shops in Exhibition Centers. (I haven't tried Starbucks since they went cashless in Bangkok, but there's always another coffee shop nearby and the Starbucks in the airports generally do take cash). There's also a few kiosk style convenience stores that have no attendant, but most of them (7/11, Lawsons, etc.) take cash. A few shops (Decathlon, and Sam's club pizza shop for instance) have 1 cashier that takes cash and 2 or 3 for QR payments only. But it's no problem. QR payments are convenient, but cash still works. -

Elon Musk: The Rise of Electric Cars is Unstoppable, Despite Trump
Sooooo, tell us how EVs are doing in Africa and non China Asian countries and the M E. Will all the Gazan's be buying an EV when the conflict is over? They have loads of sunshine there ( in the summer at least ). -

Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?
So, you consider all Europeans to be trash? Really? Honestly? I find alot of Europeans to be fine, intelligent, wonderful people. There are a dozen valid reasons why people attack Trump. His stunning ignorance is a good place to start. Are you American? Do you have a passport? -

FAA’s Diversity Policies Under Fire After Deadly Air Collision
Is a good question. I reckon piloting had historically been seen as a man's job before, during and after WWII, and the education/family systems have not really addressed that since. It's generally the same in engineering. On the flip side, there are jobs seen as women's jobs and men don't normally do them unless they are considered to be gay. Some airlines are trying to target more women to be pilots. Like controllers it might get more applicants, but doesn't automatically mean more female pilots as there's a standard that needs to be met that airlines and regulators will not compromise on. I got a friend (female) who is a trainee pilot just now for a major asian airline. She absolutely had to pass all of her exams and tests to the same standard as the men on her course. No exceptions made. This airline targets female recruitment (no, not quotas), but it isn't working that well as the social 'feeling' still exists that piloting isn't a woman's job.
