I have a smart thermostat, but it’s not from Google and is compatible with Home Assistant.

If surveillance capitalism feeding algorithms had been resisted over the last couple of decades, you might not have Trump now.

No, we’d still have Trump, and the two are unrelated.

eople like Trump because he’s an outsider, which shows how frustrated people are in the establishment. They thoroughly rejected Jeb Bush, who was supposed to be a shoe-in, probably because they didn’t want a Bush dynasty. And because of that frustration with the establishment, we got orange man and his fascist friends.

To prevent Trump, we needed a massive shift in transparency in government and electoral reform so third parties have a real shot.
