Why should AirBnb be responsible for covering issues that arise between stays? I mean, it would be nice if I could just sign up as a host for my condo, set it as unavailable for most of the year and get free insurance.

I mean sure, but what's the relevance to this article or discussion? Any product targeting the wealthy - automobile, Rolex, or iPhone ads - could also be considered distasteful when people are starving.

That dismissive argument could be used for virtually any app on the App Store. Developers are limited in nature by the APIs Apple expose, so there is very little chance of anything breathtakingly original appearing on the platform.

The cleaning company or building maintenance you contract. Ideally it would be a company that is also a co-op, but sometimes this isn't possible. Being a co-op doesn't mean you have to cut yourself off from the outside world.

I think it's less about privacy and more about what the invading actor will/can actually do. People are less concerned about the Chinese government's reach vs. the NSA or other three letter agencies in the US. I suppose if yo

I still fail to see why people are so vehemently opposed to masks. Yes, they are annoying but is it really that big of a deal? And it's usually not staff that are required to wear them for extended periods that get so upset about them
