    Airbnb should be simply banned.There's no way short term rental is any good for any city. That's what hotels with different price ranges are for.

    If you have to preach something like a zealot it means it is not as good as you think it is. Most people dont look up whether "something will work" on Windows or Mac.They just simp…

    Even today carbon taxes are the stupidest idea people from rich nations thought about. Around 5BN from the developing world will laugh at this proposal. They will not be able to tr…
