Not having a government is the same as handing you society over to robber barons. Your solution would end with the reintroduction of feudalism as the only way that the rich and powerful can hold on to their wealth without it being plundered

Seriously, I wonder if anyone at IKEA is aware of it? And if not how can we get the message to the right person. I'm sure IKEA could do this and integrate it into the TRÅDFRI system.
