Yes, actually, I absolutely would love to go back to a world without Airbnb.

How about Uber? Are we so insular that we won’t agree it was a good thing that drunk people can call for a driver at 2am?

What kind of false equivalence is this? It's Uber or drunk driving, literally no other option?
There is no Uber in my country (nor Lyft, nor anything similar), yet I always make it back home when I'm drunk, alive and without a need to sit behind the wheel. So does everyone else.

Are we so insular as to think that lobbying for the destruction of workers rights world wide is much worse than waiting more time for a cab?

The 'gig economy' has eroded about 100 years of progress in workers rights. The price of that erosion will not be visible for another 30 years or so, but when the bill is presented I suspect it won't be pretty.

Yes, absolutely. Uber poured a shitload of money they will never make back and now convince people that they should be able to get a driver on demand for cheap. If you need a ride, call a friend/family member/anyone who can trust you to spot them for gas.
