Thanks America and your elected regime for meddling in everyone's lives. You might be shocked to learn your popularity is waning.
The fact that our popularity is only now waning is a testament to our propaganda.
Yeah but have you considered Kamala Harris would've been equally bad?
Even worse, she might have also done the terrible crime of wearing something tan and that would have seriously damaged the reputation of the United States.
The sad (but unsurprising) thing is, whenever you encourage them to actually take a risk and take some kind of collective action to bring down the pedophile, they say "my job, I'm scared" when in the same paragraph, they talk about how they're one paycheck from utter destruction.
They don't realize that they literally have nothing to lose at this point.
It sounds like USAians expect everyone else to solve their problem.
Why haven’t you gotten rid of Erdogan and Orban yet?
Well, it's affecting you now. What are you going to do about it?
Protect my country, should any USians try to invade.
More armchair badassery 🥱
Its super easy to talk shit on the internet
Like those armchairs you sat in when you could have voted and handled the pedophile in a peaceful manner. I just wish that the rest of the world wouldn't have to suffer the consequences of your weakness and stupidity.
Oh right, I forgot to vote! There are ~330m of us, we're not a monolith. I did vote. I'm not getting shot by the fucking SS because some pussy on the other end of an internet connection says there's "more I could be doing". Idiot.
The conversations I'm having with you should be the ones you have with your fellow countrymen.
Presumptuous of you to think I haven't.
This is a good thing then, I hope that it has resulted in some action from them.
Honestly, I hope that the May 1st protest becomes the start of a sustained general strike. At this point, that's the only thing that will work, rather than armed rebellion, which I don't think any sane individual wants.
It's always the unexpected things that fight climate change.
Obligatory fuck politico
Have they Tried APPEASING Trump even More to Convince him to END the War? BABYING Trump seems to HELP a Lot!
Eh. My impression is that most civilian air travel is not truly necessary. Tourism, and stuff that can be done with remote work.
I worry about stuff like food prices for the poor. Somebody not being able to fly on vacation - not so much.
If anything, they should limit fuel for private jets first. If we're talking luxury - that's were it is.
Not with some poor old chap squished like a sardine inside a Ryanair flight.
That would do a lot more for the environment and for fuel savings.
I would love to get on a train and arrive well rested into Amsterdam overnight. Unfortunately, we're not there yet. Hopefully this crisis might speed up more efficient means of transport and reduce tax credits for airline fuel.
I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.
Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.
In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.
That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.
It's Europe, just take the train.
No trains to the north of Norway
The shitty train service is literally one of the reasons I started flying. Once you travel >300km it's faster, more reliable (at least compared to German trains) and costs about the same.
Yes, very soon. They're building it now.
Excited to report they're finally building Rail Baltica. When it's ready in a decade, perhaps flying will be more expensive than the train finally. Hopefully enough to offset the time lost by taking the train.
Europe isn't all connected to the same rail network even if people online would like you to believe that.
I can't build a wind turbine in the middle of the sea with remote work. I need to physically be there and there is usually half way across the planet.
Reduce EU domestic flights and use the high speed rail network for the short to medium distances.
A whole 40 flights? I think you will be surprised to learn that during the Long Emergency that humanity will face, we'll be lucky to have 40 flights a year, total for the planet!
God bless USA and it's president! For starting a real war! Should we starve? Yes we should, as the war not only brings a win, but also money! Thanks Lord for the president you have given us!!! Let's all starve! /S
So we might get more sleep? Good.
Background: since we moved here, the local airport expanded more and more. They got permission to fly between 22:00 and 06:00 against a lot of local resistance, and host a load of old and extra noisy freight planes.
Good. The flight industry as it exists today must disapear.
Yes, let billionaires fly and the rest of us should stay on the continent we're born on.
There is far too much trivial flying for business, and people are flying while avoiding better ways to transport.
Lol business people won't care if the costs go up. They already pay extra to be able to sleep on their Intercontinental flights to go drinking "for business".
It'll be you and I who won't be able to go on vacation anywhere that requires crossing a major body of water.
You would think business learned during COVID that in person fly-away meetings were a waste of time and money.
There might be better transportation, but it is more costly. Just take germany for example, it is usually a lot more expensive to travel using long-distance trains than it is to travel by airplane. And not forgetting all the stress you get by travelling with the Deutsche Bahn cos their trains are literally only 60% of the time on time. And that's not including cancelled trains, lol.
Boats have gotten much faster.
And they said "as it exists today" presumably meaning how often/common it's used.
Emissions reductions don't really care from which class they came from.
Most flights are short haul flights lasting from 1 to 3 hours. Commersial flights could very well be replaced by highspeed trains.
Changing how commersial flights are done does not mean "lets make it impossible for normal people to fly"
How is Poland self sufficient? Do we have any oil?
