Your AirBNB hovel may not be up to the latest building and safety standards and will probably kill you. Fortunately you will get a full refund. https://medium.com/matter/living-and-dying-on-airbnb-6bff8d600c04 WONTFIX: caveat emptor

Fortunately you will get a full refund. the example that starts off the article isn't really the best - it's horrible that dude's dad died (and in such a horrible manner) but the fact that it was a rope swing seems pretty incidental to the fact that they were renting an AirBNB; are there regulations anywhere governing rope swings? If they were staying at a friends house or a hotel that had set up a rope swing, would those people need to get a permit or an inspection for such a thing?

Homeowner's insurance would have to cover the rope swing at a friend's house. A hotel probably wouldn't have one unless it's regularly inspected because it's a huge liability.

If they were staying at a friends house or a hotel that had set up a rope swing, would those people need to get a permit or an inspection for such a thing? One of the twitter comments on this story said something along the lines of "regulations are calluses grown from injuries of the past." Which makes sense, something like this probably happened 100 years ago at a hotel and the result was safety inspections of recreational equipment for public use. Sure, not private use, which is where Airbnb steps in and "disrupts" that public safety regime by turning private-use (e.g. exempt from those regulations) residences into public-use hotels. This juxtaposition was part of the pushback against lyft/uber, where cab companies had a regulatory regime and extra insurance whereas individual drivers didn't. They've more or less fixed that (ongoing labor abuses are a different story) so expect more of this kind of thing to occur as more and more startups "disrupt" their way around a couple centuries worth of evolved regulatory protections.

The NLRB ruled that private school student-athletes could not unionize earlier this year.

Crosspost from the GBS thread (yeah, yeah)spregalia posted:Current MU person here. Allow me to provide a brief timeline of events: This guy seems to have a valid point; the main complaints seem to boil down to "some students are racist" and it makes it seem kinda silly that their immediate demands included resignations and "acknowledgements of privilege", are there examples of the administration explicitly or tacitly supporting racism or discrimination? Or did they just become the scapegoat?

If the withdrawal of subsidies was really due to Obamacare, why does that fall on the university? And how does a university begin to follow up on 'some guy yelled something at me from a car'? e: Absurd Alhazred posted:They knew about this since June, but didn't tell students until just before (or right after) their subsidies were dropped, end of August/start of September.

Gonna go ahead and say that I wish they hadn't included the "admit your white privilege" part in their demands, cause that's how this is going to get framed and all the incidents leading up to the protests will be forgotten. Still, it's great he resigned. I hope they can get ahold of the narrative before FoxNews turns it into another attack on our precious white males.

euphronius posted:The school does have an obligation to make the campus a safe place contra to gbs poster. For some definitions of "safe place", yeah of course they do. They have an obligation to protect their students from physical harm, which it seems they've done just fine. They have an obligation to harshly punish racism and hate speech, which again it seems they've done even if maybe they could have been more diligent about it, i.e. making a statement or taking some kind of action or something about the student association president getting "friend of the family" yelled at him from the car. Where is it that the administration fell so short that the president's resignation was warranted? Edit: BonoMan posted:It's not just about the events that are racist if I'm understanding correctly. It's the abhorrent way the University has handled it time and again. This is basically what I'm looking for. All I've found or been shown have been responses from the administration that, while certainly not perfect, are a far cry from "abhorrent"

And how does a university begin to follow up on 'some guy yelled something at me from a car'? If the withdrawal of subsidies was due to Obamacare it was because the insurance was so lovely that it did not qualify as insurance under Obamacare. As for the "some guy yelled something at me from a car" its more that there is a culture of racism and the school's administration taking a bit of a laissez faire attitude about it. The problem is cultural and the only way to change that is to be very strict, vocal and for the administration to get out ahead of the issue. Racism needs to be seen as something shameful, not something you pay some lip service to whenever something gets too much media attention.
