I don’t understand what is wrong with hiring someone the interviewer likes. I can see there may be racism, misogyny etc at play here. But setting that aside for a second, if people like each other, all other problems can be solved much more

AirBnB takes down negative reviews. I had a poor experience and wrote about my experience. When I asked for a refund, a small percentage was refunded by the host. AirBnB immediately took down my review and then refused to communicate.

Every meal eaten at most lunch restaurants generates a bunch of plastic that sticks around for a thousand years. Other animals live on this planet too. Is it fair for us to refuse to make even a small change but expect land and sea animals

> changing the diet of animals Changing our own diet is on the table too... considering we don't need to eat cattle to survive. This problem is one of overconsumption, and isn't going away by keeping our lifestyle the same.

Only some ecologically responsible cities and states have done this. Everywhere else in the US it is a plastic party!
