Only For The_Idea - RR
This assignment has two parts, the first part is to respond to this (paragraph A) which is written by my classmate in Online discussion:
Paragraph A:
"Informal work is now over 1/2 of all economic output. In some countries it is 75% of gross domestic product. We can all agree that this is huge. Informal has taken over the market. This is very bad for us. I see that there may be some benefits no taxes. However this benefit is actually not a benefit. Without tax money our cities will not be taken care of. We will all be just for ourselves. Maybe paving our roads. With everything changing to informal work we will no longer have health insurance offered through work and no retirement funds. This society will no longer be a society that values solidarity. Everyone will be working for them selves which seems like a good idea but its really not. This type of work will as the teacher stated undermine the social fabric that keeps the world together. "

Respond to the above paragraph A.

The second part of the assignment is the same of the first part (a paragraph needs your respond) but with another paragraph (paragraph B) which is written by another classmate:
paragraph B:
"http://www.cc.com/full-episodes/ntd09p/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-february-24--2016---brian-chesky-season-21-ep-21067
This is a link to an episode of the Daily Show now with Trevor Noah and his guest is the creator of aribnb Brian Chesky. Not too in depth about the business, but sometimes you can find the full interview on the comedy central website. If the link doesn't work you can find it under full episodes at www.cc.com"
This is a response to the previous paragraph (paragraph B) by another classmate:
"Speaking of Airnbn, I think it's funny hearing about the recent scandal where they terminated thousands of Airbnb's in New York before checks on their legality came around. In many cities, it is against the zoning or administrative codes to host paying guests without a license or permit. I've stayed in a number of Airbnbs in Thailand, the US, Japan were owners said to tell anyone if they ask "you are a friend of mine from work." I wonder what the scale of illegal airbnbs is not just in the US but internationally?"
Then the teacher writes his response as well (paragraph C):
“The New York thing was also related to the fact that Airbnb claims that the majority of their lodgings are regular folks renting out a spare room. In NYC, it turns out, there were more people renting out entire houses/apartments. Hence the purge of those listings. The other aspect is that Airbnb takes units off the rental market because short term rental brings more money than long term rentals. But that leads to fewer rental units and higher rents. This is also a problem in Ashland. In my neighborhood there are at least five houses that are vacation rentals (not Airbnb). They stand empty for most of the winter.”
Now you just need to respond to (paragraph B) with your won words and opinions.
I hope that's clear to you, ask me for any further clarification.
Thanks
