Agreed. Furthermore, traveling is overrated - yes I said that. Traveling to other places IMP is not as fun as going to national parks and exploring nature right here at home. Just my personal take on it - I’ve travelled extensively and I don’t enjoy it anymore.

> I’ve travelled extensively and I don’t enjoy it anymore. But that's because there are so many other travelers. Conditional on survival, travel is looking more appealing post-COVID.

  From my expericence, there are not that many places that you can't have all to yourself if you really want it

So because you don’t enjoy ANYMORE, other people shouldn’t be able to enjoy in the first place?

  Yeah, I thought we are expressing our opinions on this site?

    You are of course free to, but I think your opinion has an air of elitism and condescension, so I'm expression my own opinion to criticize it.

      How so? Please read the comment again. Where is the exact wording that made you feel that way? I can correct it.

        You were agreeing with the statement "I feel sorry for the people who lose their jobs because of this, but I think less air travel would in many ways be a good thing for the world. ". That necessarily implies that fewer people should be able to travel.

Yeah not all of us travel to compare national parks and nature. Bird watching in the Aleutian Islands would be a drag for most of us. On the other hand, events with friends, lovers, annual festivals (yacht weeks, film festivals, music festivals), getting immersed somewhere else so long that you take classes and go about the day to day with others in the class, actually enjoying taking cross country trains because they are a fast and viable form of transportation. Can't wait till that is viable again! Many of those things are possible in the US, many of the events are just not in the US and their original locations are better for it, there are also lots of people not interested or capable of coming here, who I like to be around.

Even if I agree with your argument, not everyone lives near nature and national parks. Many people live in cities without sea, mountains, canyons, forests etc.
