Re: Soylent Green
The Soylent Green concept does not work as it takes about two months to consume a dead human calorie-wise, so you need 400 dead people for a single alive person to enjoy their ‘3 score and 10’ which would lead to extinction within two or three generations. Well done 70’s sci-fi, nice try.

Personal data retention should be turned on its head and decentralised, instead stored in a local user wallet, accessible to organisations via secure API. Centralised records are not only duplicated endlessly, but also more likely to be targeted by attackers. Local records would require a monumental effort to retrieve at any sort of scale.

Re: Alternatives to car use?
"It only works in dense urban settings"
QED the focus ought to be on those who can make a change but simply don't want to; why people enjoy sitting in endless traffic day in and day out is baffling.
Naysayers to active travel seem to cite "this weather" and "weekly shop" as applicable to every single short journey.
Even replacing one journey a week down the end of the road to pick up a prescription by walking there instead is a start.
Tell me that's not true without telling me you cannot be bothered.

Alternatives to car use?
There has been only one comment so far on the subject of actually using cars less, thinking instead of public transport or active travel. Sure there are many for whom car travel is essential, but also many for whom car travel is a luxury; perhaps a working sustainable ecosystem is an essential rather than a luxury.
“In 2021, 25% of trips were under 1 mile, and 72% under 5 miles.“

Re: Is It Even Worth That Much?
Any evaluation of an organisation is not just assets, it also includes a judgment on future earnings for the lifetime of the organisation. As such any potential purchasers are buying an improved future performance they are in control of, but also at their own risk.
