AirBnB's corporate integrity, business ethics and affiliations in the light of the current political landscape.

Hello,

 

I realize this could be classified as "political" and probably, irrelevant topic, and as such it will be either deleted, or ignored. Anyways,  I still need to share my extreme disappointment since I just learned AirBnB, as a company, is officially endorsing the re-election of Donald J. Trump! Without trying to argue over anyone's political preferences and choices, I think an official corporate decision like this is unwise, unethical and very inappropriate. It certainly will not bring any more business, or any business advantages to AirBnB regardless of whether DJ Trump will get re-elected or not! So far, as a customer, I have had several experiences with AirBnB that I would rate overall, or mostly positive. I just made two more reservations for the upcoming winter season with my family, prior to become aware of the above. I am not likely to cancel those since I appreciate the properties, and since I don't think the home owners will have to pay for the company's short-sighing, greed and lack of moral principles. But it is almost certain this will be my last booking with AirBnB. And I will spread the word as much as I can. Truly sad ...

Wishing you good luck anyways, stay healthy,

Best respects,

@Alexandre854 Looking at their political contributions over the last decade they are highly skewed to Democrats so your assertion feels somewhat fake news (as Trump would say)

I can safely say the odds of Airbnb officially or otherwise endorsing Trump are worse than me winning the lottery that I don't play.
