You are not looking to travel to far away and not thinking about spending a lot of money on your stay. Living in upstate New York you decide to stay the night at the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge. You decide to go online to check on price for you stay, so you pull up google. Just today you heard from one of your coworkers that they found a great deal on a third-party site when it comes to booking lodging. You decided to book through Expedia without checking the hotel web page. You booked the room and you think what a great deal, but was it a great deal? What can third-party sites have room rate lower than the hotels are advertising. Are you paying the same fee that you would be paying if you book through the hotel?

The issue that I will be dissing is Hotel Occupancy Tax- Should Orbitz, Priceline and other pay the tax on the rate they buy the room for, or on the retail re-sale value of the room.

Not only does our society often discriminate those seen as different, but our newly-elected president, Donald Trump is even treating these groups poorly.

UBER and Airbnb are less effective at lobbying than the incumbent taxi companies and hotel companies primarily because they lack both economic and political power. They are relatively new to the market as they are the new form of business called sharing economy.

That being said with the company itself, natural supporters of such company are also deemed less powerful than the incumbents. Moreover, unlike the incumbents, these supporters’ living is not directly related to those firms. In other words, their main source of income is not from UBER or Airbnb because like
