- inconceivable 3y agowell, you're doing a fantastic job of outsourcing their guilt, i'm sure they sleep just fine at night at 30k feet while simultaneously convincing you to reduce your quality of life.
- oh_sigh 3y agoBut there are orders of magnitude fewer ultra rich than there are average western citizens. Focusing on every westerner reducing their GHG emissions a bit would have far more substantial results than even completely eliminating 100% of the GHG emissions from the ultra rich.
- Mechanical9 3y agoThe ultra rich have orders of magnitude more influence over politics, regulation, and private business than the average western citizen, so I would think that focusing on the ultra rich in one way or another should yield pretty substantial results.
