Random question.
I'm trying to both pacify and decarbonise my language.
Can anyone suggest a good metaphor equivalent to "At the front line", "At the spear-tip" or "At the coalface" that doesn't relate to war or fossil fuels but which wouldn't require me to explain that metaphor to the reader?

"I'm rich enough, why should my kids get free school meals?"
1) Universal provision means for the price of giving food to your kids who "don't need it", kids who need it definitely get it. No barriers. No forms. No questions or tests.
2) Your kids won't bully the "free meal kids".
3) You have an interest in ensuring that your kids are not just fed but fed well. This means you won't put up with the "poor kid gruel" that you might campaign for to "save money" if you're not using the service.
@0c1a9324 This was essentially my realisation with the crypto bubble.
"We're free from banking regulations" meant "We're going to do ALL the things that they did in the 1600s that led to those financial regulations."
Every safety rule is a monument.
