The thing that fixes this country is more capitalism, not less. Our problems today are the result of a culture that has lost its appetite for risk. America is more afraid to lose wealth than excited to create it. We can cling to past glories, or we can invest in the future.

The removal of support for older @googlenest thermostats is unconscionable. Smart device maker arrogance never ends. Don’t sell something if you can’t support it for as long as the devices last it connects to. You can afford to learn from your mistakes. https://t.co/jDehtPcHjA.
