      What? No. I’m so glad billionaires are a thing. They’re doing all of that polluting on my behalf!

      I mean there’s only 24 hours in a day…

        And they are collectively shortening our lifetimes too so we pollute less so they can keep their jetliners running during a lunch break in France!

    The math here is the sort of thing that drives apathy for me to make small incremental changes. If the superrich can dump ~250 avg. emission years over the course of a year, why should I do anything besides lobby against this mode of transport or other large consumers? Maybe it’s a “spirit of the thing,” but changes in my life seem so negligible compared to how ruinous some individuals are acting.

    This is such a dumb stat. Y’all just want to blame consumption on someone other than yourself.
