Might have been working in the US to long.

There's an e-waste recycling fee tacked onto some electronics (TVs mostly I think) in Canada. Maybe it needs to be expanded to other things?

Dangerously close to describing a folk music festival

It's actually for another reason

Steam does suck though? It's hard to use, and most things are better boiled/blanched or fried.

Sounds like you're describing something like the Monowalker

There are some people who have done DIY hiking trailers by chopping up youth bikes too so maybe look into that as well.

Given that a four wheel design spreads the weight to four wheels instead of just two, four wheels can obviously move more weight more easily than two.

Gonna have to disagree just on this point. Unless you're worried about sinking into soft ground or something, two wheels can take the weight just as well as four. Fewer wheels is often more maneuverable and there's less friction. I mean, you specifically mention wheelbarrows which show this trade off; stability for easier rolling/maneuverability.

Plus, there's a disincentive to take proactive action in religious institutions because that's basically acknowledging that God isn't actually as involved as they think.

I'm not sure about that... Probably just caught a whiff

Great use for them. If the reason it's cheaper is that they aren't paying the externalities, then adding a tariff is a great way to compensate for that.

You can do both. Saying they've supported dictatorships doesn't mean they haven't also supported democracy. It's bordering on being a non sequitur.
