In the early days of Airbnb, many predicted that the company and other sharing economy platforms would “disrupt” capitalism as usual, finally making it work for all stakeholders. But that’s not what happened. Instead, it got us all hooked and then got worse.

    What is supposed to be the difference between capitalism and garbage ? Asking for a commie friend.

      Capitalism is when it turns everything into garbage and then you hoard it among a handful of people. Garbage is the product of human activity that is useless. So it’s not that there is a difference between the two, but capitalism is both garbage and produces garbage itself.
