    Air bnbs are a cancer. You should be ashamed of yourself if your buying property then renting it out. With what they charge they are able to pay tge mortgage in 3 nights

        This is the bullshit that allows this kind of game. Hate the player, hate the game, and hate the observer with a dumb fuck outlook.

          False. I try my best to win at whatever ruleset is in front of me. Its human nature and game theory.

          The game of capitalism is absolute horseshit. You should hate it. Work to tear it down if you’re up for it.

          I took the cowardly - if you can’t beat them join them - approach.

          I’ll bet my life will be better than yours given our choices though. So who’s right?

            Sorry, but I couldn’t live with myself if I made my outcome better by hurting others.

            And I’m a combat vet. I’ve learned through my mistakes what I’m willing to live with on my conscience. It’s guided who I’ve become since then.

            If you’re willing to give up your morals, ethics and self-consciousness for money, then I’d like to get in an octagon to teach you the difference between me and you.

              We’re in a game. There are fake rules. Fake borders. Fake laws. It’s all made up. You can play, or not play. Try to tear it down, that’s awesome.

              Everyone playing a game should be trying to win though. Morals? Ethics? It’s a game, don’t you get it?

      Funny how we vilify those who are renting it out, but not those that are renting. Its the scalper argument all over again. Blaming the seller, but not the buyer who creates the market. If no one rents, then no one is going to buy to set up an airbnb.

        And this is why governemental regulation is the only way and why capitalism has its problems: Capitalists blaming the consumenr for the existing market. People will use the offer the capitalists create for them if it is convenient for them and they draw an advantage from it. Of course you can always blame the consumer, and protect the guy who out of pure compassion creates a market that destroys our world even faster. But hey, at least someone profitet from it in the meanwhile.

        I’d agree with you a lot more if AirBnB wasn’t a lot cheaper than any hotel or other travel accommodation. A town that relies on tourism might be different, but in the USA I save about $100 and get a more private place to stay.

              Then who are you? Do you even know who you are as a person if you don’t have the ethics to make a stand? Do you just meh all over your morals? Just give up on everything you believe? Or is it that you don’t have morals, and you’re just making excuses?
