Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new ‘total price’ of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading::Airbnb’s CEO said that he’s heard guests “loud and clear” that pricing on the platform isn’t transparent and “checkout tasks are a pain.”

      Money doesn’t turn people evil. Humans are inherently greedy. Money is the scalpel that exposes our true self.

        I dont think people are inherently greedy. We are taught from a young age the need for money which in turn makes people greedy. Ie nurture not nature

        If people grew up on small farms with only a bartering system, i dont think people would hoard resources nearly as much.

        It may be i want to see the best in people but i do believe most people would rather help others than not.

          Bartering isn’t any better than using fiat. Fiat allows economies to function at a level bartering can never approach. To say we ‘need’ money exposes your ignorance.

          But Capitalism

          Here’s a hint, capitalism isn’t the problem. Capitalism allows us to do what we want, which means we can be greedy. Freedom is a two edged sword. One that I will gladly take cuts from while it enables our way of life. No one else is responsible for your safety but you.
