I get it, but I disagree. IaC leaves the general public behind. Home Assistant isn't just for techies and is fulfilling the desire to make smart homes accessible to more people. More users means more investment and diversity in devices. This is a far better approach.

I am seeking truth, I’ve asked for evidence of your assertions and you repeatedly say “I know people”. Meanwhile, I’ve provided proven facts about the Chinese govt and their policies. You’ve only offered a silly accusation of US persecution whereby you can’t provide a single concrete example.

So no concrete examples. Got it. Chinese students studying abroad are by and large the wealthy beneficiaries of the communist govt.

China literally does just that all the time to their citizens. Can you actually provide even a shortlist of Americans in prison for exercising their first amendment right to free speech?

You should talk to the hordes of Chinese nationals who have been persecuted by an oppressive govt. abut you can’t because they’re locked away and silenced.

I don’t have to go there to know it’s true. There is mountains of evidence from objective third parties all over the world. Educate yourself, here’s a good place to start en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_r...

Chinese citizens have zero freedom of speech rights and some of the most severe censorship in the world. The US is at a low point right now, but saying oppression is worse here than China is utter nonsense.

I hope you’re right, but I don’t think you are. I think you underestimate him and his cronies and to do so is dangerous.

He’s not terminally ill, he’s not stupid, he’s not impulsive. He’s power hungry, and he has smart people with horrible plans for the country who are very calculating in their actions.

I think the opposite is true. Don’t dismiss their actions as rash and undisciplined. The opposite is true- this is all according to plan. Democrats underestimating them is how we got here in the first place.

That's folly as well. Part of the problem has been the miscalculation by Democrats. Everyone wants to think Trump is stupid, rash, and uncalculating when it's clear he is not, he just looks the part. He has until the mid-terms to solidify his power, and he's making it happen quickly. Scary fast.

Are you kidding? These aren’t “desperate moves”. These are power grabs by an administration that is no longer constrained by political opposition in congress or the courts. The fact that this blatant overreach so easily occurred is evidence that fascism has taken hold in the USA. Wake up.

Ah geez. It’s a sport, it’s athletic competition, they keep score, they compete. I’ll just leave it at my original point. You just hate pickleball and want to scapegoat it. 🤷

I’d rather watch basketball than pickleball, but the idea that one sports success is another’s failure is silly.

I think the truth is, you just hate pickleball. That's fine, but the venom towards this is silly. Why are you not celebrating the success of all female athletes? The success of one group of athletes doesn't happen to the detriment of others- the inverse is true.
