I think low fertility rate is related to high Internet use. You could argue its about high education.

The aviation industry has spent decades researching cockpit design, running simulator studies, and learning from accidents. They still use physical buttons for critical controls. If touchscreen-everything was safer or better, they’d have adopted it by now. The main reasons cars are removing buttons are cost savings and aesthetics—not driver safety.

No the US Sherman anti trust law prohibit monopolies. Its not a corporate right but right by citizens not to be affected by monopoly by rule of law or until tried.

"The Sherman Act broadly prohibits 1) anticompetitive agreements and 2) unilateral conduct that monopolizes or attempts to monopolize the relevant market. " source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act

New comment by acd in "Rethinking Zoning to Increase Affordable Housing "

acd — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 14:12:56 +0000

While zoning restrictions can limit housing supply, the dramatic house price increases observed globally are better explained by monetary policy, particularly historically low interest rates. This is evidenced by simultaneous price increases across jurisdictions with vastly different zoning laws. When interest rates fell to historic lows, monthly mortgage payments became more affordable, leading to increased buying power and competition across all markets - even those with flexible zoning. The rapid price changes following interest rate shifts, compared to the gradual effect of zoning policies, demonstrates that monetary policy is the dominant factor in recent price trends.
