  • I’m in a similar situation and my strategy is to play the long game and win on convenience. I am giving my partner a curated HA dashboard as an option (vs the native apps). Once I feel like an integration is “production ready”, I put it in the curated dashboard. That way, she can choose her preferred interaction method… with the hope that eventually she’d just prefer HA and the functionality would be relatively equal without the cloud stuff.

    I’m dreaming big





  • Now hold on. I think you can make good arguments here without using a 2020 pandemic unemployment rate per your first article. The current “real” unemployment rate is around 8%. Arguably a little higher due to under reporting. This includes folks who are underemployed or discouraged job seekers.

    You could argue that the broken social contract makes employment ineffective or doesn’t grant the same promises as it used to. You could argue that workers don’t see the benefits they deserve or that unemployment is not a good measure of people’s well-being.

    We don’t have to misrepresent facts to make arguments.
