    I love this concept. The big problem is that a lot of American kitchens are (weirdly) modeled after old farmhouses where the sink was always under the one window in the whole room. The trend is absolutely hostile to this idea.

    It's also super cool that they had a productivity institute before. I wonder what we could have achieved with something like that today.

    There are so many ways we could make society more efficient for everyone. Companies mostly focus on smaller issues for consumers, but society could have a more overarching look, and not focus on profits, but on quality of life and efficiency.
