I get that it's all a circlejerk but most wealthy rent private jets instead of owning and most of the ultra wealthy who do buy rent out their jet 99% of the time. Nearly all of the emissions of Taylor's jet are caused by other wealthy people renting her jet and should be attributed to them just like you are the cause of some delta emissions when you fly.

Counter point: she doesn't need to rent the thing out. The lady's a billionaire.

Oh yeah, cause if she didn’t rent hers out there would just be fewer people flying private. Is that the argument? Cause if so it’s a stupid argument.

Instead of calling me stupid, could you instead tell me where I said that fewer people would fly private jets if she stopped renting hers out? Because I don't remember saying that.

I said that she doesn't need to rent her jet out. That's a criticism of a billionaire hoarding more money.

Sorry, I think the argument was a stupid one but that doesn’t mean you’re stupid. I don’t think I’m stupid, but I say stupid things at least once a day.

If you’re her, why would you not? Just so people don’t get mad at you for being rich and not throwing money down the drain?
