Flag draped casket to pay my respects. It was somber and it was personal. And it was an extra ordinary moment for me, as i am sure it was for you and millions of americans and people around the with who felt a connection the great are bg rbg. It was sad because we lost a giant not only of the court but of american life. It was a celebration. Few people in our history have done more to change the lives of the American People than Ruth Bader Ginsburg did as a lawyer, advocate, and a Supreme Court justice. And it was an inspiration and a call to each of us, for each of us to be better, to stay in the fight, and stay committed to what motivated Justice Ginsburg etched inthat phrase the marble of the United States Supreme Court equal justice under the law.

Travel, i am glad to welcome the. Eo of airbnb, brian thank you so much for joining us. I have questions about your business in the olden times, in the future times. I want to start with one big picture question about all the enterprises that have an affected by the enterprise, yours has to be most affected. You are about mobility, and people have not been mobile. What is the main lesson, surprise, or discovery that you personally have taken from the experience in the last eight months or so. Ourn we lost about 80 of business in eight weeks, that we had spent about a decade building. That was quite surprising. What may have been even more surprising what is what happened next. What happens next is people, no matter the circumstances, in the midst of the pandemic, still had the desire to travel.

How we order our societies, but for me obviously the bible is primarily the revelation of god planning principles for humanity and the best way to know the keys to living a godly life with intimacy with him and if you believe in the new testament as i do is son jesus christ. I also think as a trained historian its one of the most important history books that you will ever readve. Theres no better Single Source than the bible. Its all there, the rise and fall of empires from, you know, the babylon to the persians, to the greeks, to the roman empire. And then finally, even if you dont shower and then finally even if you dont share my faith, or the jewish or Christian Faith, i think it is one of the most important books of philosophy ever written. I mean, if you read the songs the proverbs, even if you dont have a view of the world, the principal, the philosophical beliefs that are found inca scripture are, you know some of the most timeless and eternal and important ever written.
