- adlpz 3y agoSupersonic flight isn't necessarily for the 0.1%, just the 1% (or whatever other made up number) whose price per hour times the travel time reductions is greater than the added cost of the fare.
- MostlyStable 3y agoTime is literally the one thing you can't buy more of, and therefore, when you are rich enough, is the only thing that has real value.
- pier25 3y agoRight which means you can use it to enjoy quality time. Not hurry up to do stuff as fast as possible and stressed because you're running out of time.
- neom 3y agoIn my experience, wealthy people are typically in one of two modes: 0 to 1 or 1 to 0. That's why they own both jets and yachts, rolls and lambos. Sometimes you're going fast, sometimes you're going slow, but there isn't really a need to do anything between.
- Zigurd 3y agoIt's not just the 0.1% who appreciate amenities over speed. A more-comfortable, reliable high speed rail so I do not have to go to airports would displace a lot of Boston-NYC-DC air travel.
- nemo44x 3y agoBecause sitting in the air is useless. When I take my family to the Maldives or w/e out-there place to holiday, I’d gladly spend $10k more to get there many hours faster.
