They are of the order of 60% thermally efficient,
Simply nope. Theoretical limit is 42% .... and in practice they are around 30%.

You are mixing up "combined cycle gas plants" which use a combination of gas turbines together with a steam generating boiler ... with simple gas turbines.

However 30% efficiency, is not considered particularly inefficient.

No idea where you get your numbers from.

Rice harvest in Thailand is not even 50% of what it used to be 10 years ago.

We have constant switching between super droughts and super flooding.

Perhaps somewhere they started to grow some, and it evens out a bit. Who knows? In North East Thailand - Isaan, the current rice situation is a CATASTROPHE!

Either this year this area has a drought or a floor, or the other area next year.

I do not know what your phone app does.
But mine is for transferring money from my account to any other account.
For that I do not use a card, but my account. How else should that work?

On top of that, I top up my phone.
Do QR code payments ... and so on.

making the bank's own app unnecessary, and one less point of attack.
That is silly. The point of attack is not the app, but the backend of the bank.

No. Yield per acre is up a MASSIVE 20 and 28 percent respectively for corn and wheat over the last two decades.
And rice in Thailand for example is collapsing due to climate change.

Distribution is easier, as the population is more concentrated in urban areas, too. Which also has meanwhile upgraded infrastructure like cooling.
