    The ultimate quest for wealth is worth destroying the planet.

    Also vast majority of people take planes for leisure, I’m sure we can deal without them. People used to travel the world in sail boats and they still managed to get where they wanted to go.

      I don’t think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.

      This isn’t a quest for “wealth”, it’s a quest for life

          Lmao, it’s cute how you think you have some moral/ethical high ground here. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if you have this view because no one would want you around no matter where you happened to be. Run along little troll.

              Oh bless your heart. I’m not talking about your online friends who wouldn’t travel across the street to see you. Don’t worry, someday I’m sure someone will be able to tolerate being around you. Run along now.

                Imagine being this dependent on destroying the planet that thinking maybe to shouldn’t fly plane = nobody loves you lmao

                It’s ok man one day, when the acid rains destroy the last of your local forest, you’ll be able to tell your kids that you made a lot of money.

                Assuming you find a partner that tolerates you, that is.

          A) to go and earn any money B) I actually pollute less in the place that I moved to since I don’t have to drive a car

            Sure sure, whatever helps you justify the fact you’re in a plane instead of using greener travel methods.
