The fentanyl that fuels this violence is enabled by TCV and Airbnb senior management policies.
Per major Mexican news outlet Milenio, and per my actual experience in my own house in Laurel Canyon, TCV & Airbnb senior management protect their profits by covering up A.I. approved clandestine fentanyl labs from homeowners, communities, and authorities. Enough fentanyl was produced in my home by Airbnb renters to kill at least 7 million people, and then was trafficked to a central hub in Wisconsin, and then distributed throughout the US and Canada including to Kensington, Philadelphia where I work with a fentanyl outreach charity.
While children and adult addicts struggle to survive in communities ravaged by fentanyl, Ellie Mertz, Brian Chesky, and Jay Hoag buy more houses. I bet they wouldn’t like it if Airbnb covered up a clandestine fentanyl lab in their home. I bet they wouldn’t like it if fentanyl trafficking and addiction overwhelmed their community. I bet they wouldn’t like it if masked gunmen raided their home and shot them and killed their dog. But this is exactly what they profit from enabling and covering up.
This sweet dog used to hang out on the sidewalk and had zero aggression. It gave love and companionship to the unhoused community on the block. Another member of the community is in critical condition from the shooting. There is fear and despair all around.
This is all a direct result of the policies and actions of TCV, Airbnb, billionaire & Netflix Chairman of the board of directors Jay Hoag, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, and Airbnb CFO / Netflix board of directors member Ellie Mertz.
