X rich people flying around is a drop in the ocean compared to X *1000000 non-rich people flying around.
It’s a distracting tactic used by the vested interests: “ignore this politician/public figure, he flew that one time! What does he know about climate change, he’s practically causing it!”
- paganel 7y agoI personally have no vested interest in this as I'm personally quite afraid of flying and because of that I don't fly that often, I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of it all. And this was not about politicians, I get it that at some point a politician has to get from point A to point B as fast as possible in the interest of us, the public that he/she is supposed to serve, this was about the rich people who apparently have more pressing concerns than middle-class people. They don't, we should be all treated the same.
- Sharlin 7y agoYou'd basically have to change air travel into a command economy then. Some sort of a bureau where you would apply for a flight permit. I'm definitely a leftist, but I don't think that would work. In any economy there are luxuries, and by definition some people have better access to luxuries than others, whether by means of money or connections.
