Airbnb is providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the US
All of the virtue signaling and moral feather preening surrounding this issue is something to behold.<p>It seems we&#x27;re entering a new era where businesses engage in political activism as well as simple commerce.<p>If that&#x27;s the case, it&#x27;s only fair that other groups, whose politics may differ from the activist-businesses&#x27;, start using politics to weaken those businesses and counter their influence.<p>For example, it&#x27;s well known that Airbnb operates under the radar of housing regulations in many localities.<p>Perhaps people who disagree with Airbnb&#x27;s politics should organize and bring about legislation that will eliminate or severely curtail Airbnb&#x27;s ability to do business in their town, county or state.<p>Or perhaps the Republicans, though new federal liability laws, should render Airbnb&#x27;s business model non-viable at the national level.<p>The left has been engaging in total war against the right for about a decade. They seek to impose social and economic penalties on those who hold political views different than their own. And they&#x27;ve done this, fairly secure in the knowledge that there would be few or no repercussions against them.<p>But I have a feeling that&#x27;s starting to change.
