Airbnb Exec Posts Cringeworthy Item On Immigration

The new director of global communications for Airbnb made a communications blunder amid the child separation crisis at the U.S. border. Kim Kingsley posted a picture of herself and fellow staffers dancing on a San Francisco pier with the caption, “. . . that night i fell in love with new colleagues while children 2,000 miles away were being detained in cages.” Kingsley has since made her Instagram account private.
Whether you like it or not, this is not a blunder. Airbnb is responsible for increasing rents to where people cannot afford to live in cities, not because I say it. Ms. Kingsley perhaps belongs with a different company in a different position. Going private is not the answer to solve her cage problem.
