What you said could be true of any event, but reality is, each of these events influence apathetic people to either become supporters of the regime or anti-establishment.

At least, that’s my theory. If not, there would never have been any progress in human society, if things are as static as you theorized.

Even if that did happen, why not tax the additional billionaire income and create subsidized or public housing?

Just because the first step isn’t perfect doesn’t mean status quo is better than progress.

It’s a bit finicky. If I open the door through home assistant, it prevents me from operating the door through the manual opener until I click twice. Otherwise, local opener has no power. Not sure if I installed it incorrectly.

But it works fine, otherwise.
