- mlthoughts2018 6y agoGiven that 1%’s disregard for the climate impact of their outsized air travel consumption, it’s plausible they are generators of much more than average emissions in other parts of the economy too - cars, induced load on delivery trucks, vacation homes, heating oil, lawn care, having many children, etc.

Wore an oxford button down with the stenciled words "kill the rich their kids are evil" at Harvard. Not ironic at all, last I heard, he was on the ICAAN board voting against net neutrality.
