Interested in reading more, can you mention the textbook(s) your course uses?

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.

I use this: https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/products/diy-smart-garage-opener-kit-zooz-multirelay-ecolink-tilt-sensor

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.

It's written off as a business expense. Part of the house is used for business (so write off mortgage, home improvement costs), part of the employee time is used for home improvement (so labor is free for your own home).

Replace "CEO" with "employee". Can an employee get his colleagues to improve their own home at the expense of the company? Can an employee independently take that decision without anyone being able to question it?

That's the ethical quandary here.
