Buying plastic crap from amazon, commuting to office work every day, SUV's, eating too much meat, flying halfway accross the globe for a business meeting or vacation. It all still happens (though Corona proved how much if that was not needed) , and all is frivolous. And all will stop when the oil runs out, or would be greatly reduced if the oil price is set at say 10x the current level
- booleandilemma 5y agoI was just thinking the other day about how much flying for business meetings is done for the point of having somewhere to fly to. It’s purely a lifestyle thing dressed up as some kind of necessity. A high-ranking coworker of mine is flying out to NYC for a meeting next week. This is a guy who’s been working from home since covid started. Why all of a sudden does he need to fly anywhere? Why can’t another zoom call work? If and when we have full-fledged businesses on the moon corporate execs are going find a reason to fly there too, just to tell people that’s what they’re doing.
