people on this forum love private jets, but hate bitcoin.

why? ppl that travel on private jets can travel commercial, or are some people exempt from climate change damage somehow?



... the GP didn't argue for getting rid of "private jets", but for getting rid of commercial air travel.


They literally said “Let's instead get rid of private air travel”, which I interpreted (reasonably I think) to mean private aviation (where you know the other passengers) not public airline (Delta, KLM, British Air, etc.)


Because private planes are relevant travel amounts to "cause a pandemic", and "People can go on vacation by train instead" makes sense when talking about private planes (vs "can fly commercial"?)?


I agree their conclusion was ridiculous. However, it seems equally ridiculous to conclude “even though they specifically said white, they must have meant black, and for you to read white into their argument is a willful misconstruing of their argument.”
