    the company is valued at $2b and this guy is asking for $12k to cover cost of repair and lost revenue. he should be asking for punitive damage as well.

    The shamelessness of these companies … they treat their customers and investors just the same. Nothing matters, there’s no objective but quick money.

      Yeah - you really do not want to be a customer or an investor with a company doing these stunts.

      nuance alert: people who have dual citizenship and can afford their second home by renting it while theyre away don’t deserve to have their shit wrecked by tech bros. landlords hoarding housing do.

      idk i don’t mean to ‘uhm acktually ☝️’ i just know some very kind people who host and dont abuse the system.

        LOL

        Yes they do deserve it.

        People shouldn’t have second homes. This fucks over everyone trying to buy their first home.

        Everyone agrees landlord’s are shit, airbnb’s are worse.
