I stopped using air bnb. I use to use them for more obscure places that didn’t have hotels. I don’t like they take homes out of the market. I get for vacation areas this is less of an issue but for places like ny city, San Francisco, etc it’s taking homes out of use.

I hate the cleaning fee. It’s become obscene.

Just everything about the model bothers me now.

This is my favorite one I’ve seen about it so far

I blame the removal of pensions and replacement with inadequate 401k plans.

Social security was never meant to be a retirement plan.

I’ll admit I’m a high income earner. I’ve never had to watch watch what I spend but recently even I’ve noticed increases in everything.

Groceries have doubled from what I paid in 2019. I buy almost the same thing every week and I compared.

Dining out has become much more expensive. Places I used to consider a good value are now expensive.

I ordered a basic meal the other day at a local place. A cheeseburger. Fries. Drink and my friend had a salad. It was almost 59 dollars. Six months ago it was around 30 dollars.

So now I have to watch my spending as everything has increased

In 08 they should have let the banks fail. People claim it would devastate the economy. Bs. A rich person would have picked up the scraps for cheap and kept things going. They didn’t need our tax money and no punishment.

Oil subsidies are why we have cheap gas. I’m fine getting rid to them. Just realize your gas will cost more.
