An ideal world doesn't look like land owners building moats. I work in energy/home automation. I'm burnt out.

  We don't live in an ideal world though but in a world run by the incentives of the capital/asset owning class.

    > In an ideal world this should incentivise... > An ideal world... > We don't live in an ideal world though... Yes. That was thoroughly established in the original comment and my reply. Have you come to look for an argument? Or to show off how pragmatic you are? What's your point besides "shit sucks?" If that's your point, I'm glad to commiserate. Shit sucks.

      >Have you come to look for an argument? Nope I just gave my opinion, but judging from your spiteful reply it's clearly you looking for an argument but I won't bite.

  What's the target market of your business? I'm doing a DIY solar setup, plus a bunch of liberty-respecting automation, and often lament that there aren't better ways to make such things serviceable by contractors (when I'm gone, etc). It feels like every commercial offering I've seen is for extremely rich people's "dream houses", deploying expensive niche-commercial solutions in a very top-down manner (lots of homeruns of narrow-purpose cables to multiple racks in a centralized control room, etc).
