If you consider computers and phones more essential than healthcare, education and a roof over your head, sure.
- observation 9y agoI can think of improvements in those areas, but what I can't think of is improvements reaped by the average person. I wonder if that is partly information asymmetry. A person who buys a passivhaus knows what they're getting. But normal people pour their finance into granite countertops, inferior construction materials/labour and exhibit poor taste in a way that makes them ultimately poorer.
