Oth people are more willing to pay for a digital game if it's easily shared within the family, just like the physical game.

Honestly I feel 3D video production is a huge missed opportunity. I don't mean YT videos played in a VR screen, but actual 360-captured videos specifically designed for VR. Would probably work for MVs.

45% improvement seems good if people buying PS5 pro, but not worth upgrading a PS5.

Do you program domino logic on a electric board or on a computer?

Oh they are fully aware of that. That's why they wrote this article

You can drastically reduce man hour and material cost when you design houses with efficiency in mind though. It takes significantly less engineering to build a 4-floor building compared to a 40-floor skyscraper, which requires digging large holes, carefully installing a central structure, and the work becomes progressively slower when you are near the top. They are also a huge liability long term due to the complexity of the design, making its present value lower. In a real "free" market, all this would be priced in, but it's likely that the industry is controlled by a small number of well funded groups with strong influence in politics (allowing them to get permits and contracts).

Not all doctors make good politicians (for example, I doubt that Dr oz would be a good choice as a secretary). But good health ministers are more likely to come from a healthcare background, although you may have really good non-experts doing a ministers job.

It has nothing to do with capitalism. The housing crisis is created by ignorant or lazy stakeholders looking at short term gains instead of long term prosperity.

Costco plays the same capitalist game as Loblaws. Why is it that the former is so appreciated while the latter is hated by many?

We can look at housing the same way. Why isn't anyone providing high quality housing for a low price, focusing on accessibility and efficient use of funds instead of building expensive luxury apartments. Sure that'd drive down prices for existing homeowners, but the revenue would be much higher since they can now sell to a much broader group that can afford to take a smaller mortgage. They could build in low density area (e.g. Milton is 1/10th of Toronto), and bet on the growth that would go with creating self-contained areas easily accessible to Toronto via the Go train.

Instead, we get the Weston's of developers: price gouging, expensive developments, low appeal to newcomers/younger folks.
