People, no matter the circumstances in the midst of epidemic still have a desire to travel. Didnt want to go to crowded hotels, they did want to get in the car and go to another community and live there somewhere getting homes from airbnb there is a fundamental desire to travel and connect and see the world i dont think anything can stop it let alone a pandemic especially if veyou do it responsibly but there is a strong will to see the world it has to be done in a much narrower context. Host airbnb is a new way to do something people have done for a long time to travel and lodging. Because there is a large structure of ar
Against the left indoctrination of americas children. We want our sons and daughters to know that they are the citizens of the most exceptional nation in the history of the world. The leftwing, cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the american revolution. As many of you testified today the leftwing are the direct result of decades of leftwing indoctrination in our schools. Its gone on far too long. Our children are instructed from propaganda tracts like those of howard zinn. They try to make students ashamed of their own history. The left has warped, distorted and defiled the american story with deceptions, falsehoods and lies, teaching this horrible doctrine to our children is a form of child abuse and the truest sense of those words. Lou President Trump also slammed the news york times 6019 project which is a platform that some schools believe it or not have adopted in their curricula. It is a false rewrite of history. It seeks to redefine the United States describing this co

I want to start with one big picture question about all the enterprises that have an affected by the enterprise, yours has to be most affected. You are about mobility, and people have not been mobile. What is the main lesson, surprise, or discovery that you personally have taken from the experience in the last eight months or so.
