Sure. Take ride - sharing services. They are supposed to be part of the new sharing economy. But they often end up like the old taxi business. There are issues with drivers' pay and working conditions, just like in the traditional taxi model. Another example is short - term rental platforms. They claim to be sharing unused housing, but in reality, many hosts are running it like a regular business with similar profit - seeking motives as in the old real - estate rental market.
For instance, in the sharing economy of peer - to - peer lending. It was supposed to be a new way of borrowing and lending money among individuals. But it has faced problems like default risks and high - interest rates for borrowers in some cases, which is not so different from the problems in the old lending systems. And when it comes to shared - equipment rental services, there are issues of maintenance and quality control. The companies in this new sharing economy sector may cut corners on these aspects to maximize profits, just as companies in traditional rental businesses might have done in the past.
It might imply that despite the so - called novelty of the sharing economy, the underlying issues or patterns remain the same. For example, there could still be problems like unequal distribution of benefits, with the big players getting most of the gains while small - scale providers struggle. Or it could mean that the consumer - exploitation aspect, such as high fees in the name of sharing, hasn't changed much from traditional economic models.

I don't really know the exact meaning. It could be that Goncharov is a person in a story and 'the same old story' implies a repetitive or familiar plot involving him.
The story of Caleb is underrated. He was one of the spies sent into Canaan. He was the only one of the older generation (apart from Joshua) who was allowed to enter the Promised Land because of his faith. His story emphasizes the importance of faith and trusting in God's promises. Also, the story of Aaron. He was Moses' brother and the first high priest. His role in the religious leadership of the Israelites, especially during the Exodus and the establishment of the tabernacle, is often overlooked.
Well, it generally means getting rid of old things or ideas and replacing them with new ones. For example, in a company, they might get rid of an old, inefficient production method and bring in a new, high - tech one.
Maybe it could be about the same old fights between friends over silly things like borrowing money and not returning it on time.
Sure. Let's say in Shiloh, every year during the local fair, the same family always wins the baking competition because they use the same secret recipe and no one else has been able to come up with something better. That's 'Shiloh, same old story' right there.
Sure. Let's say there's a red car that always parks illegally in the same spot. Every day, the police come, give a warning, and the owner just moves it a little and then parks there again the next day. It's the red car and the same old story of illegal parking.
