    Alright. 2 can play this game. Why are Airbnb hosts allowed to operate, effectively hotels/resort style properties without the appropriate licenses required for one? I know, they n…

    The DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) forum is pretty unambiguously the forum to talk about caste discrimination. What forum is Gupta "highjacking" to talk about caste in your op…
