So sad

[Veronica838]

I'm afraid I'm making arrangements to leave the Airbnb platform in the near future.  It's sad because as hosts, Airbnb has worked well for us.  I cannot support Airbnb's co-founder's allegiance to Musk. I have have to make a stand, however small.

Absolutely your choice. Best of luck to you, Veronica!

Yes it's a choice that quite a few guests and hosts are making .

We can only stand by with shock and horror at what is happening both in the US and overseas in Ukraine , Canada , Mexico and Palestine as a result of US international policy . 

sadly it's like to lead to a fall in bookings from overseas and national visits as guests move away from visiting the US/the Airbnb brand.  @Pat271

@Helen3Agreed. If hosts aren’t getting bookings, they should look elsewhere to supplement their incomes. At the same time, they are able to “vote with their wallets” by taking a stand against the policies they don’t support. Best of both worlds, so to speak. 

Guests, too, should take a stand, if they so choose, by booking on other platforms, by staying in hotels, or whatever else will make them feel at peace with themselves, or make them feel they are helping humanity.

I support the freedoms of all people who are able to make these types of choices. We are lucky to live in countries that allow us the freedom to choose.
