Comment on Why do we put up with this crap?

We are too reliant of air travel as it is. With the advent of the internet we should reduce air travel down to permitted leisure/visiting family and migration. Businesses should be able to video confernced most transactions. The allowance where you absolutely need on cite representation can be reduced drastically.
That is, if you toom climate change seriously.

Thanks for the laugh.

I do have a selfish reason; and it’s not because I don’t vacation. It’s I travel for work and that shit is exhausting. Anyway, you’re acting like you can so go and give this a read and leave me alone you dope.

Wait till accelerating climate change makes leisure flights a thing of the past.
Our species is done, thanks to mindsets like yours.

a thing of the past for poor people, anyway.

We were too conservative in our estimates. And other factors like loss of the reflectivity of our arctic regions have entered the game.
This stuff doesn’t go away on any human perceived timeframe by stopping. They’ll be able protect themselves for a couple more decades beyond us peasants, but their luxury bunkers with ironically self-sustaining agricultural sections will effectively become their tombs.
We were just smart enough to make technologies that helped us today and doomed us tomorrow, and still too bone dead stupid not to stop/drastically reduce using them upon discovering the consequences of their use.

Almost everyone who travels a lot for work wants this too.

Plus, high-speed rail is better for the environment.

Not having to do unnecessary travel at all beats every transportation mode…
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
Yes, and necessary travel doesn’t need to be via car or plane.

Rowboats my friend. Rowboats.

HA. So look, I do agree. Problem is businesses don’t care, even if we do. If you figure out a way to stop management across way too many professions from holding hour long meetings to talk about some data point that has so significance to what is actually happening, and those “leaders” who call meetings early to get the team together, when the whole damn thing could be in an email…yeah man, when you solve that, I’ll work with you to solve the rest.

Ok, but like I’m not going to solve it. It’s not also going to be solved today. I’m just saying you want to gripe about your shitty airplane experience like we need to make it a luxury resort when really we need to stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere.
