The "sharing economy" is stupid and only serves the companies who create the apps to get around purposeful regulation. That's how is helpful

In America, sharing things = communism. Thanks again, red scare!

You're clearly upset, Mr. Browning, but I don't think you're quite sure why...

Anyone who speaks in favor of communism has never seen it in practice.

Just realizing how much I rely on Uber and Air BnB. Feel shitty about the economy, but glad to be helping people who may need it.

If it's in a big city, 80% of the time the Air BnB is probably a company that get around regulations by doing it.
Idaho, Washington state, Maine, Fredericton and Kingston Ontario. Not really big cities.

Not quite...communism failed in part because you can't plan an economy. Those apps capitalize on sharing, which is self correcting.

You can, but it helps when you're smart enough to know that declaring war on sparrows isn't a good idea. Nice going, Chairman Mao.

A more significant factor was that Communism had the wealth generated by the production funneled to the ruling elite.
Without the masses or infrastructure being part of that distribution inflation begins to outpace wages and quality of life decreases. 2/2
