Day 15 #OpEd reminder of who benefits from #LNP ☢️ policy

Thu 31 Oct, 2024.

“#PeterDutton says his office asked whether billionaire (Oligarch) #GinaRinehart's jet was available for event: #OppositionLeader Peter Dutton has admitted his own error after saying he had never requested access to billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart's #PrivateJet in his travels.”

Mr Dutton has previously #declared flights provided by #HancockProspecting, owned by Ms #Rinehart, but on Tuesday said "no" when asked if he had ever personally asked to be flown courtesy of the nation's #richest woman.

I was casually scrolling through @ZuckJet (Zuckerberg’s private jet’s flights) and of course I got mad for the absurd amount of pollution one asshole can generate, but then I started asking myself: “what’s this place in Bozeman, Montana he flies to so frequently?”

I looked it up, and the answer I got is even more infuriating.

How could we, as humanity, allow places like this to exist and be accepted as normal?

‘Used like taxis’: Soaring #PrivateJet flights drive up climate-heating emissions

"Analysis of 19m flights between 2019 and 2023 reveals 50% rise in #emissions, condemned as ‘gratuitous waste’."

Also: Why "efficiency gains" are bullshit:
"Industry expectations are that another 8,500 business jets will enter service by 2033, far outstripping efficiency gains and indicating that private flight emissions will rise even further."

Is a public account, using public data, that tracks a celebrity jet (Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, Bill Gates etc) “stalking”, providing a "public service”, or is a benign ”curiosity”?

Oh. I just got it.

Taylor Swift called on her followers to register to vote. Taylor Swift inspires young women who are more likely to vote left-wing.

So now I'm seeing a zillion re-posts of news articles about "Taylor Swift has a private jet: she is an evil polluting billionaire" because the right wing wants to suppress her political influence.

That's why we're seeing 'news' about just her jet, not anyone else's. It's a coordinated propaganda campaign.

The solution to being cash-rich and time-poor is not a private jet. It is to spread the cash around a bit more.

If you don't have enough time to do your work, here are two environment-friendly time machines: delegation and job-shares.

It's not a bad idea by any means. But 5,000 tons is about how much #billGates produces just through his #privateJet every year.
And if they make it to 50,000 next year (which *hopefully* they will), then that will take care of Roman Abramovich's #superyacht with enough left over for a baby yacht. #billionaires #climate #pollution

Members typically must pay thousands of dollars to bring a guest. Several people ProPublica spoke to said that before the pandemic, they saw #ClarenceThomas there just about every year. ProPublica was able to confirm 6 trips #Thomas took to the retreat that he didn’t #disclose. Flight records suggest #HarlanCrow has repeatedly dispatched his #PrivateJet to VA to pick up Thomas & ferry him to the Sonoma County airport & back, usually for a long wknd in the middle of the Grove festival.

While attending the #donor events would likely #violate the lower courts’ prohibition on #fundraising, experts said, #SCOTUS has a narrow internal definition of a fundraiser: an event that raises more money than it costs or where attendees are explicitly asked for money while the event’s happening.

On the Thurs before the Jan 2018 summit in Palm Springs, #Thomas flew there on a chartered #PrivateJet….

That puts #Thomas in the extraordinary position of having served as a #fundraising draw for a network that has brought cases before the #SupremeCourt, including one of the most closely watched of the upcoming term.

Thomas never reported the 2018 flight to PalmSprings on his annual #financial #disclosure form, an apparent #violation of #federal #law…. A #Koch network spox said the network did not pay for the #PrivateJet. Since Thomas didn’t disclose it, it’s not clear who did pay.

In his required annual #FinancialReport, #ClarenceThomas said he opted to fly on the #PrivateJet of his friend & #benefactor, #HarlanCrow, for ONE of the trips on the advice of his security detail. The justices faced heightened security risks, #Thomas noted, after the May, 2022 #leak of the court’s majority opinion to eliminate the nationwide right to #abortion & overturn #RoeVWade.

(except he took a number of similar travel gifts prior to the #Dobbs leak & decision)
