You mean moving them from one corner of the Geneva free port to another?

Sorry but this is just plain wrong. India has extremely strong anti-dumping laws which make it nearly impossible to import a used car into the country except under very specific circumstances (returning non-residents importing for personal use, diplomatic vehicles etc.) All the western / Japanese cars there are either locally manufactured or imported brand new.

Since they tend to be in management or company ownership they keep on earning and getting richer but their money doesn't go out into the economy. This also applies to their relatives who tend to be high spenders.

They are still spending money though in different ways - less fuel, fewer air tickets and hotels, but more take-out, online shopping, subscriptions and so on.

You must be new here.

Mathematics is not plural despite its ending with an s. Nobody says 'Maths are...' anything.

Clip the wires to a power bus? probably not. But lots of commercial pilots mount gopro type cameras to capture takeoffs and landings. Several have youtube channels for this sort of thing.

Is a no-squared response anything like a circular argument?

Despite the fact that you somehow "didn't see" any wind farms in India there is an installed capacity just shy of 35 GW (end of 2018). The target for 2030 is 60 GW. Here's the citation

The same argument was probably made about horseless carriages back in the day. There was "literally nowhere" you couldn't already go on foot / horseback / whatever. Yet here we are.

Maybe it's a north/south thing but I can't count the number of times I've stood in a supermarket checkout line at Leclerc or Carrefour while someone pulls out a chequebook. The checkout clerk sometimes even has a printer which fills in the amount automatically. There are cheques for everything here - restaurants, vacations, school, you name it. Sure, they like cards as well (though to be fair these are more like charge cards than US credit cards) and they are chip/PIN or contactless.

You should try visiting France sometime!

Making and receiving calls may be your primary usage mode but why do you assume it is their primary function? Email + Whatsapp have pretty much rendered traditional phone communication obsolete.

You're thinking about the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) that works like a windmill to generate emergency power to operate certain basic electrical and hydraulic systems in order to make a controlled descent possible. The APU (Auxilliary Power Unit) is a small jet turbine (usually inside the tailcone) that is used to power the aircraft on the ground before the main engines are started. The APU burns fuel just like the main engines (just less of it) and provides electrical power rather than thrust.
