No. There have been many attempts at this, and just as many failures. Centralization is not the answer.
-
More control. I can make a homemade PFSense router that gives me enterprise grade features like VLANS, VPN options and advanced firewall rules.
-
Performance. A dedicated AP from Unifi or Armada is more powerful and stable than most consumer wireless routers.
-
Price. Building a decent setup yourself actually pretty cost effective compared to high-end consumer routers.
It’s DEFINITELY NOT for everyone, but if you’re a nerd with some networking skills and time to spare you can make a baller enterprise-grade home network for under $300. My budget setup made from used components blows any $500 “premium” router away.
Apparently you can flash OpenWRT on some Unifi APs, though I’ve never tried it personally. I have a Unifi AP (with stock firmware) connected to my DIY PFSense box and it’s working great.

Realistically, pushing veganism is simply a bad choice in America. Instead, we should be pushing a simple reduction in meat consumption. Just educate people and encourage them to REDUCE meat in their diet.
-
Take away the government subsidies that make our meat artificially cheap, doing that alone will naturally raise meat prices and lower the average person’s meat intake.
-
Consider throwing a carbon tax on the types of meat with the greatest environmental impact, why not?
-
If we want to be more equitable we could only tax the “luxury” meats (like goose, veal, lamb, oysters, or expensive beef cuts that are usually only purchased by upper class people anyway).
There are a lot of ways to skin this cat (lol), and I think we’ve sufficiently demonstrated that most Americans are WAY too resistant to cutting all meat out of their diet.
