We have /c/fuckcars but no /c/fuckplanes. Yet a lot of the same arguments apply. They cause air pollution (roughly double the amount per km traveled), noise pollution and they (airports) take up a lot of space near dense living areas. Sure, some places can practically only be visited by plane, just like some places can practically only be visited by car. But people don’t consider not having your holiday that far away or giving pushback on a busines trip that should have been an online meeting. Besides work-from-home being encouraged, work-from-home-country should be too.

Cars need to be discouraged in favor of busses, trams and trains. Planes nees to be discouraged in favor of high-speed trains, staycations and hopefully new alternatives like modern sailboats or electric planes.

      the millionaires have more in common with the billionaires and support them more than they do the working-class.

      I live in a town of the top 10%. They think they are ‘ordinary folks’, and it’s the top 1% who are to blame. The top 1% blame the top .1%, and so on and so on.

      Nobody is rich or upper class, everyone is working-class because someone else has more money than them. If you only own 3 homes and a boat and 5 luxury cars, well that’s just normal, because rich folks are the one with 12 homes, 2 yachts, and 50 cars…

      My favorite is the celebrity class who love to tell you how they are ‘normal working people’ when they have 100s of millions, and their parents were ‘only doctors and lawyers and business owners’. And you do some digging and the vast majority of them come from family money and had insider connections in the industry, but they don’t advertise that fact because that would make them look bad!
