All 5 episodes of HBO's Chernobyl are out. Just watched the first one. Reminiscent of a horror movie, but one that really happened. CQ recommends.

Airbnb thinks the hotel lobby, not the unions, are who their fight is with.
wut?

That note says "hotel lobbyists and the hotel union". I could see both having a stake in keeping hotel business lucrative.

The note is from an individual Airbnb renter, not any news source or other organization. Airbnb specifically published a list of political donations made by the lobby to NY politicians.

Re: Post nothing for good reason (NSFW)
Airbnb has been a big disruptor. There is a lot going on politcally about whether they should be able to operate unfettered, or whether they should be regulated, and if so, to what extent?. If you are a homeowner, and now more than half your neighbors are renting out their homes for most of the year, and now your home value is being affected, you may not like airbnb very much. If you are the one renting your home out, you are enjoying the extra cash. If you own hotels, you feel the threat. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

It's different because other people aren't being affected by uber vs cabs. With Airbnb, residents are affected by partying groups of 10 21 yr olds taking over the house next door for a weekend.

i'm talking about the hotels getting lobbyists involved. Its one business model stepping in and disrupting an existing business model.
