  • what?

    I think that guy is an idiot because stuff like airbnb is so demonstrably bad it’s had to be banned in places to help house people but the law doesn’t seem related to ethics except accidentally to me?

    Sometimes the law if aligned with ethics, e.g. don’t kill people cause you get mad at them in traffic. Sometimes it’s monsterous e.g. put peoples struggling with addiction in cages, force abused women back to their husbands, follow this racist order etc.

    I don’t think it’s wrong to say we should be careful about what laws we follow.
