Agree with 9:31....... It all sounds good. However, if you got a perspective from the hotel owners association, or from a section of folks looking for long term rental accomodation, you would most likely see a totally different set of "facts". Airbnb provides "economic benefits": sure it does, and pipelines provide "jobs".
Yes, they provide jobs. Does this prove that pipelines are a good thing? Crack and meth provide livelihoods for police officers, prison guards, addiction counselors, but this does not necessasarily show that these drugs are a good idea. Likewise, businesses like Airbnb cannot be judged by their "economic benefits" alone. One must also consider the social and human aspects of their operations, just as we need to consider the ecological side of pipelines, not only the "jobs". It's not a simple black and white subject, lots of shades of grey, depending on how you look at it.
Are you saying oil pipelines are full of cocaine? I don't understand. And don't people actually use the oil? I would definitely prefer pipelines full of oil than crack.
Hey 11:19. You are the one needing the addiction counselor. Your apparent addiction to an ideology allows you to introduce a ridiculous excuse for logic. Dogma plus flawed argument = Dogma plus flawed argument. Just stick to the vacation rental issue.
Spin doctoring story.

ReplyDeleteI hope ABBA can get back together as soon as possible. Even on old ABBA has got to be better than some of the stuff on this site.

ReplyDeleteSimple. Vacation Rentals are evil. Period.
ReplyDeleteThey can do harm, that is for sure.
ReplyDelete11:19 Are you saying the police, prison guards and addiction counselors are selling the "stuff". If that is true the "stuff" must be OK. Right?
