  Private Jets are not the problem. The top 1% must be outlawed.

    I would say both. Multifaceted approach. If there’s a legitimate use case for private jets, maybe they could be allowed once we’ve transitioned to clean energy.

      It looks like about 68% of the world has internet access so I would say no. Source

        And they also would own a computer and likely a rental or mortgage. You only need to be making $60000 a year to be considered the global 1%

  That won’t happen when there are companies that make billions making them. They would for sure put up a fight

  And all the other things they spend billions on. Guess what? Most of it is not good for the environment. It is just that the rich can do a lot of the bad stuff.

  What if the super rich had to compensate climate wise with 1:100. They can afford it. Or if they actually have to compensate for all the damage done to create their wealth. Think of all plastic going through Amazon…
