“Corporations owning single-family homes, and Airbnb. Both have destroyed the housing market.”

As a Senior Staff Writer at BuzzFeed, I cover real-life stories that explore relationships, lifestyle (including travel and beauty), and the internet's most fascinating trends.

"Then, those same companies blame consumers when the 'diet' eventually fails."

"Fast fashion is terrible for the environment (fashion accounts for 20–35% of the microplastic that ends up in the ocean), terrible for the workers (93% aren't paid a living wage, child labor, and bonded labor are not uncommon, and many of the factories are unsafe)."

"Those ticket companies are disgusting, I bought tickets to a concert recently that included a soundcheck party and a meet and greet with the band. The band canceled the soundcheck party, and the ticketing company refused to do a partial refund, so I had to either cancel the entire ticket, including the meet and greet, or just lose the money for the soundcheck party. It's not my fault I'm not going to the soundcheck party — just give me my money back."

"I can no longer use Microsoft Word because it’s a subscription, and my sister, who wants to go into graphic design, can’t use Adobe Photoshop because it’s a subscription. It’s ridiculous. How are people supposed to even try and get into the career they want when they can’t afford the tools? She’d be able to save up for a one-time payment, but she can’t afford the added cost every month."

"What these legally gray a-holes do is trick people into paying to have free paperwork done on their behalf. Sure, they have the tiny fine print disclosures, but they're extremely predatory and make me sick. In my opinion, getting rid of them could be legislation worthy, given that they interfere with federally owned debts."

"I get children modeling children’s clothes for shops and stuff, but when they make 10-year-olds look 20 and 'sexy,' it's just creepy."

"Insurance is extremely profitable. And people die because some guy needs a third home and a private jet."

"I was raised on a small family farm. I agree, factory farming has to go. Family farms treat their animals well and 'give them a good life.' They were fed and bedded every morning before we were allowed to eat. They all had a name. We knew less stressed animals made a better product."
