    Yes.

    And ban all passenger fights for short travels, ie if travel via public transport take less than 4h, for instance via train or bus. That means denying airlines licenses to operate such routes, and rejecting flight plans of that kind.

    Or we could just kill the billionaires. I’ll probably get banned for that comment, because that’s much as we care about climate change we care about random billionaires lives a lot more… Apparently… Silence7

    Unless this came along with a massive overhaul of the tax system I don’t see how it would fix anything. Say you kill billionaire #1. Now he’s dead, but his 5 kids are billionaires. His money doesn’t magically get recirculated, most of it isn’t even real so it doesn’t get taxed.

    You’d need a wealth cap and it’d probably need to be almost global in scale to prevent these dipshits from running away (at least until they learned to realize that there’s essentially no lifestyle difference between $50M and $50B.

    Im not arguing about your effictivity.

    but that solution would put you on the same level as they are. not caring about individuals.

    But honestly. Im always buffeld about the world we live in with so many psychopaths that none has the idea to kill rich mthrfckrs instead of politicians.
