Negative standing charges for utilities would be a good start, trivial to implement and saving the poorest amongst us from the burden of subsidising our consumption.
Mandating dehumidifiers in all new housing would be another, saving them from the choice between mould and wasting warm air.
Free public transport at shift change times would make wages go further.
There's so much can be done without playing whack-a-mole trying to milk millionaires.
