It doesn't have to be baked into the daily rate. They could just show the total when searching.. but Airbnb doesn't do that because it would make people realize the poor deal they're really getting.

If someone works an on-call rotation and was told about it during the interview process then I see no issue with it. It's baked into the agreed-upon compensation already. I don't see how you can declare what an employer/emplo

On-call is meant to be for rare emergencies. If you're getting paged outside of work hours on each 1 week shift then something is wrong. It should in no way be equivalent to 168 hours of work.

They're correct; at least for the short term. A quick search tells me itemized deduction returns are only ~10% of tax returns right now, down from ~26% before the TCJA. So if you're MFJ you'd need ~$25,000 of home interest an

Assuming you're in the U.S. there has been positive inflation for decades, so unless you live in a place like Detroit, yes just like every year. This is just an _additional_ factor to raise your rent at an even faster rate. That's

Stealing/nationalizing property, even for a year, results in higher costs to do business in the future due to the assumed risk. So I agree with you that this may have helped the single metric in the short term; there are long term cons

Yes, I agree with you. State and local governments had a much larger impact. My point was the CDC was also forcing people to do things against their will in addition to state and local governments, it just affected fewer people. That force

That _should_ be their role, but unfortunately they overstepped. The CDC implemented an eviction moratorium for around a year (September 4, 2020 through August 26, 2021). That had very real, negative impact on landlords during that time. I
