Please begin to restrict fuel for private jets, even if it would be symbolic
Edit : thanks for correction
symbolic
Good. The flight industry as it exists today must disapear.
Yes, let billionaires fly and the rest of us should stay on the continent we’re born on.
Most flights are short haul flights lasting from 1 to 3 hours. Commersial flights could very well be replaced by highspeed trains.
Changing how commersial flights are done does not mean “lets make it impossible for normal people to fly”
If you price people out of short haul flights, that just means they’re even less likely to be able to afford long flights which cost money even in good times.
When i said that?

God bless USA and it’s president! For starting a real war! Should we starve? Yes we should, as the war not only brings a win, but also money! Thanks Lord for the president you have given us!!! Let’s all starve! /S
It’s always the unexpected things that fight climate change.
Obligatory fuck politico
Remember COVID?
Eh. My impression is that most civilian air travel is not truly necessary. Tourism, and stuff that can be done with remote work.
I worry about stuff like food prices for the poor. Somebody not being able to fly on vacation - not so much.
If anything, they should limit fuel for private jets first. If we’re talking luxury - that’s were it is.
Not with some poor old chap squished like a sardine inside a Ryanair flight.
That would do a lot more for the environment and for fuel savings.
I would love to get on a train and arrive well rested into Amsterdam overnight. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet. Hopefully this crisis might speed up more efficient means of transport and reduce tax credits for airline fuel.
Nah, they are just gonna subsidize kerosene with tax payer money and call it a day.
I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.
Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.
In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.
That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.
He did say most
It’s Europe, just take the train.
The shitty train service is literally one of the reasons I started flying. Once you travel >300km it’s faster, more reliable (at least compared to German trains) and costs about the same.
Yes, very soon. They’re building it now.
Excited to report they’re finally building Rail Baltica. When it’s ready in a decade, perhaps flying will be more expensive than the train finally. Hopefully enough to offset the time lost by taking the train.
Europe isn’t all connected to the same rail network even if people online would like you to believe that.
No trains to the north of Norway
Then use your electric cars.
Yeah you poetically don’t wanna do that. It’s far and cold and charging stations are limited
It’s not the flights per se, but the worrying future it suggests.
Well this is the upside of the war. Transport causes pollution so less transport is better for the planet. Similarly most human economic activity is bad for the environment. I think we could do to have a lot less of it. It will give us cave to focus on the important stuff, food, clean water and reading books at home by candlelight on an evening.
Thanks America and your elected regime for meddling in everyone’s lives. You might be shocked to learn your popularity is waning.
The sad (but unsurprising) thing is, whenever you encourage them to actually take a risk and take some kind of collective action to bring down the pedophile, they say “my job, I’m scared” when in the same paragraph, they talk about how they’re one paycheck from utter destruction.
They don’t realize that they literally have nothing to lose at this point.
It sounds like USAians expect everyone else to solve their problem.
Americans are all cucks. The French would have had his head by now and rightfully so.
You literally listed the one thing we have left to lose
Well, it’s affecting you now. What are you going to do about it?
Protect my country, should any USians try to invade.
From your armchair?
Why would I givr away my strategy to you? It’s none of your business, frankly.
More armchair badassery 🥱
Its super easy to talk shit on the internet
jUsT dO a ReGiMe ChAnGe 🇪🇺
Like those armchairs you sat in when you could have voted and handled the pedophile in a peaceful manner. I just wish that the rest of the world wouldn’t have to suffer the consequences of your weakness and stupidity.
Oh right, I forgot to vote! There are ~330m of us, we’re not a monolith. I did vote. I’m not getting shot by the fucking SS because some pussy on the other end of an internet connection says there’s “more I could be doing”. Idiot.
The fact that our popularity is only now waning is a testament to our propaganda.
Yeah but have you considered Kamala Harris would’ve been equally bad?
Even worse, she might have also done the terrible crime of wearing something tan and that would have seriously damaged the reputation of the United States.
Don’t forget about the laugh.
Do you know she was endorsed by the corporates??? (Ignore Palantir and Oracle standing behind the orange turd)
