Dude, you are completely unable to understand what others write. Go do something else.

Is... Just... A... Example! Is really so hard to understand this? And even worse, you do not understand that no one in his right mind would go around telling that he gets a huge profit in any business, because everyone would want to do the same thing and would end his business!

I think the bigger problem will be the Excel to Calc transition. Because Calc is still lagging behind in functionality, especially in the matter of dealing with formulas and macros.

False. "supply and demand" only works in economic theory. In our harsh reality you have monopolies, combination of prices between vendors, even plain extortion. The average buyer becomes obligated to purchase for $10000 regardless of whether he can spend this or not, even though the market has only one buyer in a thousand able to pay $10000.

One example? On my country (Brazil), You can get government-subsidized loans with the bank to afford homes costing up to, say, $30000. Most homes here do not cost all that to be built, the majority could be sold at a good profit for let's say $10000. But what happens? Because people can apply for loans of up to 30000, then out of nowhere all the houses now cost at least that (but they actually cost much less than that). The result is that most homes are unoccupied, for those who can not afford them or who do not accept pay them.

(And do not take this as a personal offense... But for me the north-american mentality of "maximum profit at any cost" is a cancer that will wipe out humanity soon or later.)

You humans do have serious problems with extremes. The point is: I are the builder. I spent $1000 to make the house. If I sold for $2000, I will have a generous 100% profit. But, why I need to sell for $10000 just because someone can afford this? And worst of all my friend, maybe the buyer can pay $10000, but why he would do that when he knows that my house would cost at most $2000? Or I as builder end up getting nothing at all, or I end up starting another housing bubble, and you already know what happens when it bursts.

In summary: Having some profit is acceptable. Horever, to want 900% profit as in the example is simply stupid, blind greed.

What is your problem with that, uh? Maybe you do not liked because you are just one of these bullies who deserve do die in very gruesome ways? I will defend my relatives by any means necessary, and if you do not like, suck it

Yes, and No.

Actually we really do live in a savage society where criminals rule, unfortunately... Horever, It never was and will never be an excuse for anyone to be a criminal.

...because no builder is making 100% profit, much less 900%.

Dude, you are unbelievably naive. Go seek treatment as soon as possible.

In fact I really do not need to do anything like that, asshole... Because I made the decision long ago of not to have children in this shithole that you call world. But if I ever change my mind, you can be sure that I will defend them at any cost.

Exact.

You can have kids. But you will have to have a policy of "if you harm my son, I kill you" on this sick society.

It's the same thing I would do. If my child was being abused, I would go to school. I then would break the spine of the bully, and his father complained, I also send him to the hospital. It is the only language bullies understand.

15-year olds sociopaths. Bullies needs do be jailed for life, because they are simply unable to live in society. and if that is not enough, then they should be killed. And if that does not happen now, it will happen sooner or later when they become adults. Therefore it is better to kill then before they cause innocent victims.

Wrong. Everything goes down if the builders can continue asking millions for homes that were built using only a tenth of what they are asking. It will not do anything doubling or tripling the number of homes if no one can afford them.

...everybody knows these guys have money so they charge accordingly

This is the fundamental root of the whole problem. If the builder has spent $ 1000 to build a house and there is someone who can afford to pay 10000, the builder does not want to receive, say, 2000 by the house (which would be already a 100% profit!). No, he wants to receive the 10000 merely because someone can pay. Pure and simple greed in action.
