You're posting a screenshot that doesn't even show the trades you're highlighting.
And, like who is this person and why do they have relevant experience?

Something, something, market irrational longer than you solvent...

If you've noticed that beige.party is down; it's because the certificate expired. Hopefully the admin notices soon.

The reason they aren't going to let this go is simple; he's their test case.

If they can fuck him over they can do as they please. And lord it over the rest of us.

Ah, you forget that the guest and the host are not doing business with each other; both are dealing with AirBnB which means AirBnB is the only party with standing to file a criminal complaint against the host. And that their TOS binds the guest. Given how completely they caved to the guest, I'm guessing even an arbitration hearing would have gone her way.

Probably because it falls under the binding arbitration clause in AirBnb's terms of service.

Be skeptical of unverified and unverifiable sources. Sure the sources could be anonymous democrats; but they could also be Republican political operatives telling friendly journalists something that wouldn't be credible if it had their name on it.

They want to build a literal smoke-filled back room in which to cut deals?
Our era is beyond satire.

Wasn't there a book about this in the 1990's? Or maybe a Wired headline?
