I think people are starting to catch on to that. Maybe I'm overly optimistic though.

AirBNB pays taxes too. They don't circumvent the system in Barcelona, that was fixed a long time ago. Now they just displace locals because the nightly rate is higher than the monthly rate. Even if it's empty most of the time. Which is a real shame.
This is gross on every level.
It's real. They can taste the difference.
If you swim across a river, it is now a river you've swum. If you sneak into a room, you have snuck in.
Those are correct but they look and sound wrong.
People in the US do land acknowledgments. I don't think the indigenous really care one way or another. It's still stolen land, an acknowledgment isn't giving it back.
I think we need to start breaking the law and self reporting. We'll send in pictures of our junk spewing urine in the wrong room so they'll be sure it's a legitimate complaint.
It's not weird at all. China invented tea (Camellia sinensis). The cultivation techniques, the drying and fermenting, and the brewing techniques for various types of black, white, green, and oolong tea. They named it, too. Both "tea" and "chai" are derived from the Chinese word for tea.
Tea wasn't cultivated in India until the nineteenth century, when it was introduced by colonial British who literally stole tea plants and seeds from China in an act of corporate espionage. At that point in time, China had been cultivating tea for multiple millennia, and exporting it around the globe for several hundred years. India initially produced CTC (cut, tear, crush) tea on colonial plantations for export, only later (in the 1900s) selling tea to the domestic Indian market, when the practice of adding CTC black tea to masala chai took off in India.
What's weird is that you've bought into some kind of alternate history where India invented tea.
I think the default or mixed gender plural is the masculine io ending. Them's the rules of Spanish, as I was taught.
Sure, if you think preparation and ingredients don't matter. Enjoy a hot, steaming, cup of Saturn.
I didn't hit one.
