And what do the Republican party platforms from within the last decade have to say?

This has also happened to me twice. In both cases, it was when we got a good price booking well in advance for a known-busy season, and the cancellation was last minute and left us totally screwed because there were no alternative accommodations available within our budget.

In both cases, Airbnb would only offer us a refund plus maybe like 10%. They would not make any effort to rebook us at an equivalent property.

My theory is that because Airbnb does not sufficiently penalize hosts for these sort of late cancellations, hosts are incentivized to cancel cheap bookings to get a more expensive booking on another platform if prices meaningfully increase.

Oh it’s dysfunctional alright, it’s just that the dysfunction is a product of the whole market, and not just Apple.

This is needlessly pedantic. Accountability, like so many other things, does not happen until it does. Of course it's lack now does not preclude its existence in the future.

Well that’s because they are legal fictions and often run by morally bankrupt individuals. The people making the decisions are still responsible for them.

Don’t confuse lack of accountability with lack of responsibility.

They got scrutiny over it, sure. But trouble? No, I would say that they did not get into trouble.

Yea I think the added Biggs scenes are the one thing from the Special Edition that is a clear improvement over the original.

All of this is not mutually exclusive with the models being dangerous, tho.

I actually do think it has been decelerating a bit recently. It’s just that last 1% feels much bigger than the previous 10%.

And how much do people spend on cars, gas, maintenance, insurance, parking, etc.?

Their alternative is to not advertise a plan as “ad free” if that is a lie.

People always bring this up but I don’t get the issue. How often are you using your bank’s app? Banking apps are probably the least essential apps on my phone.

>People that accidentality cut their fingers in lawnmowers due to lack of safety features are allowed to sue the lawnmower company.

Anyone is allowed to sue the lawnmower company. Did they win?

This is the kind of thing that someone knowing they are doing bad things at their job says to justify it to themselves.

It’s not true. You can go find something worthwhile to do instead.
