This infuriates me.
I would actually love to do more to REDUCE my carbon footprint, but it's prohibitively expensive to.
But billionaires (and millionaires) can literally greenify every aspect of their lives, even be carbon-neutral or carbon negative! But they choose not to.
I think taxing the rich just isn't enough. We need to CAP the rich. There should be no billionaires.
Its designed to infuriate you. This is not personal emissions of billionaires, its including their businesses.
brother, that doesn't make it any better. these pieces of shit can do more pollution in 90 minutes than any of us will in a life time since it's for their business? the one which is such a massive operation of exploitation and extraction that it earns them billions of illbegotten dollars, which is why they're being talked about to begin with?
"this infuriating shit was designed to infuriate you, don't be infuriated, just accept it instead!"
this is the same stupid shit argument as "um bezos can't pay more taxes bc he doesn't actually have all the money his networth implies, that's not how networth works" as if people mad at jeff bezos or any of these other worthless rich parasites don't know that, as if we need someone like you to explain some stupid shit to us
