They have become a huge impersonal bureaucracy and now they demand photo government id from all hostesses

Why, one may ask? To give the informatia to governments of course.

Also, they now forbid hostesses from taking cash security deposits.

So there are many other alternatives, thank God.

Unfortunately most businesses that start out relatively small and end up a monolithic size usually become hard to deal with. Uber, Facebook, Airbnb, and the list goes on and on. They're able to get around some of the more ludicrous requirements when they're small, but once they get huge the government takes much more interest in them and forces them to adhere or fail. This is the very reason I try my best to only deal with small business concerns few even know about whenever possible.

Things were much better back when the mom and pop businesses were the staples of society. The Walmartization of so many countries is ultimately detrimental to the buying public.

Facebook and Google are units of the CIA, not sure yet about Airbnb but it seems headed in that directia.
