A question for @alroth.bsky.social: when does a matching market become a normal market?
I was thinking w. uber and airbnb: haven't these effectively just become markets where the price is taken/accepted?
A regular cab or hotel could also discriminate against customers, not wanting to serve them;

I was also just trying to make sense of the inverse - is a store or a taxi a matching market, if they have some sort of possibility to say no? A restaurant may say no if you are poorly dressed.
And to that: does the presence of discrimination make it a matching market?
Thanks for the lecture!
