I just had a post almost immediately deleted that I put a lot of time and effort into writing. Being careful not to mention anything controversial, only sharing my experiences of the changes I've experienced since March 15. The only thing I think may have been the trigger for deletion was that rather than refer to any controversial subject directly I wrote in square brackets: "[let the reader use discernment]" How unfortunate that speech is squelched. It will only hurt Airbnb in the end and I liked their concept so much. However, rather than transcending the petty politics of the moment, they'd rather embroil themselves in it. Airbnb had represented transcendence of race, nationality, etc. Essentially, I felt Airbnb could have had John Lennon's song Imagine as their theme song. That's how I live my life, regardless of what people are doing around me. I don't know if it's fear of retribution or fear that their numbers won't show an upward trajectory for their public offering, or what. However, just like all organizations, religions, and political leaders, as they progress, regardless of the initial noble intentions, in the end, the narcissists rise to the top.
