   @Julianoe @wood5y Indeed. Ten years ago or so I was speaking at Ouishare, one of the European “sharing economy” kumbaya-style conferences where they were setting up AirBnB, etc., as being almost altruistic, and I rememebr telling them something along the lines of: You keep telling people no one’s going to own anything, we’re all just going to rent want we need. So I ask you: rent from whom? Oh, right… from the very tiny handful of people who end up owning everything.

   They were not impressed.

     @wood5y @aral honestly if you were not boycotting AirBnb I have bad news for you. It's been a shitty corp since the start.
     Same goes for Uber for example. Not need to wait for them to rally to Trump and Musk.
