I would love to see televised congressional hearings on the need to regulate the sketchy, under the radar, gray market hotel industry that is Airbnb. There could be a parade of witness who tearfully tell how their lives and homes were destroyed as a result of doing business with Airbnb, or how renting through Airbnb resulted in them becoming crime victims.

Then they could bring Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb, into testify, and get him to explain why he is so indifferent to all of the suffering and misery his company has caused.

I'd be glad if I could book an airbnb without been discriminated as a tourist while black, not an immigrant. Fix your business first, because today airbnb is a creator of harassment.

In the future, will corporations do more of whatever service that governments traditionally do for its people?

Probably, but only so long as it's profitable.

I just don't know where to start. This is so bad and pretty condescending.
