Not just a time invesent -- if you're biking 18 miles you're going to need a shower where you're going, or you're going to need a job where you can show up drenched in sweat.
And that's not factoring in rain or snow or having to transport large objects or people.
The response here to "people must be financially illiterate if they can't live without income for months!" is no, they aren't illiterate, they live in an economy designed to keep a ton of people in precarity.
Everyone understands it's nice to have some money set aside for rainy days. It's such a simple lesson that calling it "financial literacy" is almost condescending. The problem isn't that people haven't heard of saving, it's that decent-paying jobs aren't common, basic costs like housing and healthcare are rising rapidly, and even if you do everything right there are a thousand ways to get a fat bill dropped on your lap that takes you back to square one.

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine
It really is something how almost all English-langage media uses the phrase "full-scale invasion" in lockstep.
From a strictly military perspective, restrictions never help.
"From a strictly military perspective" is a nonsense framing, especially in a relatively limited war like this. Militaries are for (1) resolving political questions when peaceful attempts at resolution break down, and (2) deterring other countries from walking away from serious attempts at peaceful resolution. There is no world where you set aside the ultimate political goals; that's the whole point!
The modest seizure of Russian territory may strengthen Ukraine’s bargaining position in negotiations, ease Russian pressure on Ukrainian defenses in the Donbas, or weaken Russian President Vladimir Putin politically, but it is unlikely to change the military picture in a significant way.
Should have dispensed with the saber-rattling and started here. This isn't going to change the overall direction of the war; at most it will prolong the inevitable.
These are the last days of WWI, where people keep dying despite everyone knowing that the war's end is imminent.
The fact that ukrainians are still fighting to this day shows they want to be independent.

The point I bring up is that the peace terms are just going to get worse. The only way Ukraine turns this around is expanding this into a great power war, which is insanity, especially in the age of nuclear weapons.
