Fuck Joe Gebbia and his AirBnB billions.

I’m just one person, but I’m done with AirBnB until this doofus is off their board.

It’s not just off the board. He will still continue to make money forever off AirBnB. AirBnB has been a net negative on communities, the housing industry, and hotel industry. Maids make less money and chances for employment as hotels have been hurt. It’s time we stop supporting these companies like they do ANY fucking good. They find ways to make really good ideas the absolute worst for everyone so they can make billions. I guess it’s not their fault because there’s basically 0 regulation but it’s not like they care. They’ll do anything to make their billions

If you need a rule to tell you to not be a bad person, you are in fact probably a bad person.
