In capitalism, workers create value through their labor, but capitalists exploit this by paying workers less than the value they produce, resulting in an unjust distribution of wealth where workers are systematically undercompensated for their contributions while capitalists accumulate disproportionate profits. Abolish Capitalism!

Flexjet 558 just buzzed my house on its way to the airport.

Looks like it flew in from New York - wonder who it was. Something to do with the football team I'm guessing.

Last year, our researchers found that private jets emit at least 10x more pollutants(!) per passenger than commercial planes.

All private flyers must scale down their emissions—including Taylor Swift. https://apnews.com/article/taylor-swift-climate-jet-carbon-emissions-kelce-chiefs-02ac425d24281bd26d73bfdf4590bc82

Did PM Modi and BJP disclose election spending on Adani private jet?

An AdaniWatch investigation finds that the 2014 election campaigning by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a private jet owned by the Adani Group was not disclosed as election expenditure, potentially violating the law of the land.

: The Green Party has called for a ban on all taking off or landing at . They say this form of transportation, favoured by a super-rich elite, is the ultimate symbol of ‘climate inequality’ where the richest 1% of the population produce as much planet warming each year as 5 billion people making up the poorest two-thirds of the global population. https://oi-files-d8-prod.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/2023-11/Climate%20equality%20report%20executive%20summary.pdf

Unreal is the world the ultra-wealthy inhabit. Or they live in an alternate universe. If so, can't they please stay there and stay out of ours? (Satirical websites like are superfluous nowadays).

"Private jet service for rich dog owners condemned by climate campaigners - UK-based charter firm launches ‘ludicrous’ £8,166 Dubai-London route for clients who want to fly with pets. Environmentalists have condemned a “ludicrous” private jet service that transports wealthy people’s dogs, which this week ran its first flight from Dubai to London.

For £8,166, one way, customers were able to sit with their dogs on their laps and sip champagne as they travelled from Al Maktoum international airport to Farnborough in a Gulfstream IV-SP jet.

The company, K9 Jets, which is run by a husband-and-wife couple from Birmingham, already operates services to New Jersey, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Paris and Lisbon.

Announcing the new route, Adam Golder, the company’s co-founder, told AeroTime Hub: “K9 Jets believes pet family members deserve to travel in comfort and style alongside their owners.

“We couldn’t be more excited to kick off this new route, just in time for the holidays, so guests can celebrate with their loved ones (including pets) in style.”

Private jet trips in Europe emitted 5.3 million tonnes of CO2 in the last three years.

That is more CO2 than Uganda, a country of 45 million people produces in a year.

Taxing private jets is a license fee for the rich to keep killing by climate change. Nothing less than banning them is a step towards a solution.

Ban .

End .

Private jet flights are sky-high and reaching records. While many of us struggle with putting food on the table and paying our bills, the global fleet of private jets has more than doubled in the last two decades.

Private jets and other luxury emissions are not currently regulated as such and largely excluded from key legislation that is supposed to tackle .

The scandal doesn’t stop at private jets: business flights, frequent flyer programmes, and other “bullshit flights” are also the problem. Only 1% of people are responsible for half of all from flying.

James Cleverly’s use of £10,000 an hour Succession-style jet ‘ludicrous’

I know it’s getting a bit wearisome - there is just so much of it - but we must keep on calling out this kind of behaviour by our leaders. Complete contempt for struggling citizens; complete contempt for planet. Tory politicians flying so much they need to rent extra

In perspective, Elon Jet will burn aproximately 1570 liters of fuel on a 400 Km flight, releasing 4 tons of CO² to the atmosphere in just 1 hour, same amount as the average World citizen in ONE YEAR!

Forget avoiding straws, forget recycling, let's focus on stopping the private jets!

Tax Private Jets Into Oblivion

Private jet ownership and usage has actually grown in recent years. There’s no justification for this. It’s time to raise taxes on
