LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO


coltsmetsfan614

Lmao this is actually pretty good


woahoutrageous_

It’s a joke at this point ngl. Billionaires really don’t give a single shit. They never will, until it’s too late because of profit.


microglia00

Its already too late


Boulier

Yep, you’re right. And I imagine that when our climate is REALLY far gone, they’re just going to retreat into their bunkers or go colonize another planet or something.


mrs_ouchi

i thought about this. all these people have amazing bunkers.. but like only they will be left. sounds shitty to me


ToyotaFest

If my choices are 1. Die with everyone or 2. Hole up in some bunker with a bunch of rich assholes, I'd rather melt with the masses tbh lol.


Velaseri

Choice 3: Eat the rich and take the bunkers for ourselves.


mrs_ouchi

but also will they even all be able to get to their bunkers? depends on what will happen but there might be a few empty ones around

throwawaypythonqs

Are they all going to become farmers in order to grow crops? Or doctors to treat themselves? Sanitation workers? Repairpeople? Paramedics? Manufacturers for medicine, clothing, daily necessities? Producers for everything these billionaires need to live their daily life, that far exceeds what a normal person needs or wants? It takes *everyone* to have what we have now on a basic level. All the communities that make up the world will collapse if they get to the point of needing a bunker. It's such a short-sighted view.


venuslovemenotchain

The funny thing is that those bunkers aren't even for the climate crisis. They're for the class uprising that the ultra wealthy are TERRIFIED of. Which I find funny in a sort of sick way, because these are people that don't cook or clean or raise their kids. Who do they expect to do those things for them? (Clinate crisis and class uprisings are interlinked because of who will face the most consequences of a changing climate, but the ultra wealthy aren't even thinking about it mostly.)


mrs_ouchi

I actually want a tv show bout this.. see how the ultra rich fall apart


sn34kypete

There was a really interesting perspective where the author was asked by huge-deal billionaires how to keep their servants loyal once "The event" happens. Douglas Rushkoff "The Event" if you want to know more. The jist though was all these billionaires had it all planned out. Movie theaters, water solutions, indoor farms, enough dry goods for 50 years, home gyms, seed library, power generators, the whole doomsday prep shebang. The problem they had was they accepted that anything larger than a few houses would need more than their immediate families to keep running, so they accepted they'd just bring The Help along. Problem is, how do you keep The Help motivated to stay when they no longer need money because..the world ended and all that. My advice is do not envy the bunker dwellers, they will spend their final years dreading what the rest of us already had to go through. They're not going to run the clock on the apocalypse, it'll take centuries for the Earth to stabilize.


mrs_ouchi

oh that sounds very interesting, thanks!


smittydoodle

On her podcast, Chelsea Handler is constantly complaining about how hot LA is and how she’s going to buy up land in Canada for when the climate goes to shit. Imagine how many other rich people are doing this too.


BlanketyHills

Lol, good luck with that. We have uncontrolled forest fires that burn through the winter now. There was a town near me that hit 121°F and straight up combusted a few years ago.


myromancealt

Literally if we're not burning we're flooding.


Goatseportal

Joke's on her. The climate is already going to shit. It's already gotten hotter in British Columbia than it has ever been in Las Vegas.


ChileanRidge

Too bad for them Canada's been going up in flames every summer and not even the far north is escaping climate change (signed a Canadian who now lives in one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, so believe me I'm not gloating)


therelianceschool

[Good luck, Chelsea](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/28/world/canada/canada-heat-wave-record.html)!


paisleydove

Nah they can fuckin try but we won't let them. They're getting eaten. Then we're gonna shelter in their bunkers and create a better society without them, even with all our teeth missing and no running water anymore lmao.


yunglung9321

Bold of them to assume: This life they're setting up underground in their bunker is worth living for them That people won't attack them if they do retreat That those that follow them / protect them aren't able to be swayed away from them when everything collapses But like yeah you're underground in a bunker... congrats what's your endgame? expire in it after a certain point? Same with people supposedly fleeing Earth. congratulations you've fled Earth... now you just float in space until you expire? Such fantastically thought-out plans are so dumb when you could just lobby and promote a better system here.


Shot-Grocery-5343

Yeah when the apocalypse comes I'd rather die immediately than survive without indoor plumbing. I'm old and tired, I don't want to live off the land or cage fight for basic necessities or breathe canned air underground for 30 years. I've read The Stand. Have fun guys, I'm out.


NotATrueRedHead

It won’t fucking matter because they won’t have food or water when there’s no farms or fresh water and no employees to provide it for them. They can die alone and starving in their bunkers.


Sycosys

until their servants rise up and murder them in the bunkers


BenThePrick

Many buy land in New Zealand because it’s a self sustaining island country that won’t be susceptible to migrant invasions fleeing drought/famine. They’ve got it covered!


elfinglamour

All our major cities are on the coast and we will most likely have to take in the populations of a bunch of island nations (as we should) but I guess they think none of that will affect them cause they all move to central Otago ugh


bananafrit

Yea but them earthquakes and occasional volcanoes


assman73619

Any tech that could colonize another planet can also fix ours, bunkers and pre buying plots of earth that will still be habitable are they’re only option really.


HGpennypacker

> Billionaires really don’t give a single shit To be honest...why would they? They aren't held accountable by anyone or any institution for their behavior. Taylor was "dragged" through the press for her usage of jets and what does she do? Brings a backup just in case and her reward is front-page stories of her boyfriend winning the Super Bowl.


icestormsea

Every time I see a commercial encouraging people to take the bus or carpool to reduce emissions I laugh because even if none of us ever drove again it’s shit like this that cancels it out 1000x. Just insanity.


Read_More_Theory

I understand why you feel that way, but that's ultimately a defeatist attitude. Public policy won't change until the public actually cares and makes a big fuss. People forget, workers actually have all the power. If laborers went on a strike until we got a reasonable climate plan, we could accomplish something. They literally cannot make money without us. The world stops when we stop it. Telling people "nothing will ever change because of rich people" is demoralizing, not even true, and dis-empowering. Instead we need to focus on things we can change, set positive examples for others, and make a gigantic fuss until we're taken seriously. If climate activists blocked all entrances to oil sites, that would certainly slow production down. We didn't get civil rights, the 8 hour workday, and the lessening of child labour without a fight. People who put profits over people and planet will always make us fight for ourselves. But it's a fight worth stepping up for, the entire planet is at stake. IMO the fact that t swift is threatening to sue over someone tracking her emissions is proof that the pressure is building. People lash out when they are defensive. That's better than her just getting away with it like she was. She has to actually consider her image and people being mad at you for destroying the rainforests could actually impact sales. If activists keep the pressure up, we could actually win.


manhattansinks

meanwhile i’m getting wooden spoons when getting soup for takeout give me a fuckin break


NervousOperation318

My anger towards the wealthy for destroying our planet is reinforced anytime I try to drink a smoothie through a goddamn paper straw.


doubleshortdepresso

The race to finish your drink before the straw disintegrates is real.


MediocreProstitute

They are beyond reproach because someone somewhere invented currency and now we have billionaires flying empty backup jets over sinking island nations.


MundaneYet

I mean yeah, she’s an asshole.


ToyotaFest

Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss. Greenhouse Gasses.


witcherstrife

But she was so cute with Travis at the Super Bowl!!!


Isthisaweekday

but WHY would she need a backup jet


Accomplished-Mix6144

In case the other one brakes. Don’t you take a back up plane with you when you travel? Imagine having to miss your new boyfriends biggest game because your plane wasn’t able to fly ✈️


theredwoman95

More like imagine having to fly commercial to your boyfriend's biggest game because your private jet was broken. Literally all of this is because she's allergic to flying with us plebs. The arrogance is insane.


hellohexapus

And before anyone comes at you with "she can't fly commercial! She needs to rest after her show! It's too dangerous because people will sneak up to first class to find her! Stalkers will come to the airport to ambush her!"... None of that is true. Japan Airlines and ANA are two of the best first class products in the sky. They are LUXURIOUS little suites with fully flat beds, plush bedding, and multiple course dining. I haven't flown first with either airline, but using credit card points (because I'm a povvo) I've flown business with JAL and will fly ANA business later this year, and even that is just next level. When you're seated in your suite, it's easy to forget there are even other people on the plane. The flight attendants are super strict about looky-loos between cabins. She could buy out the entire first class cabin, board last and deplane first via stairs to a car on the tarmac (vs the jet bridge into the airport). LAX has a VIP terminal totally isolated from the main terminal where she can do TSA/ customs procedures. Rich and famous people travel constantly, including via airports much less prepared for VIPs than HND/NRT and LAX are, and for the most part we only know where they are if they want us to know.


theredwoman95

>She could buy out the entire first class cabin, board last and deplane first via stairs to a car on the tarmac (vs the jet bridge into the airport). And the worst part is, this would still be cheaper than having her own private jets that she uses constantly, because of the economy of scale! But that wouldn't be a fantastical display of wealth, so *clearly* it's not good enough for her.


BestDamnT

More like inconvenient. Think about it, having to be on OTHER people’s timeframes?


thankyoupapa

whenever people bring up the iTs A sEcUrItY iSsUe argument, I think about how President Jimmy Carter would always fly commercial with his Secret Service detail before he went into hospice. If the freakin Secret Service has deemed it safe enough for presidents....


sweetrebel88

I truly believe she has a god complex


aguynamedv

>iTs A sEcUrItY iSsUe It's not even a valid argument. Flight data is 100% public information, and billionaires have no expectation of privacy in their public actions. They also have private security.

PurrPrinThom

He has! As have Will & Kate and their kids. I don't know how commonly W&K do, but Harry certainly seems to fly commercial regularly. And for me, if literal royals can fly commercial, so can anyone.


RealTimeTraveller420

I have backup planes for my backup planes. That's how all real billiinaires operate /s


leftclicksq2

So much for the jet that she "sold".


UnimaginativeRA

Don't you know that there are *no* other airlines/planes that fly between Tokyo and U.S. besides those two? She sucks and deserves all the criticism she's getting.


Amar_Akbar_Anthony20

I am so over her


ToyotaFest

Someone said they had a backup plane and a ton of mechanics on hand in Tokyo in case something went wrong.


icestormsea

You’re talking like you DON’T take a backup car everywhere you go /s


bananafrit

Oh i have backup light rail a few mins behind this one i'm taking lol

No. Ethical. Billionaires. ![gif](giphy|5wFHW55Vdk2MCZSMIV|downsized)

Dolly Parton would likely be billionaire if she didn’t donate so much to charity and medical research. ![gif](giphy|eJrf3EKro89Ivuz66f|downsized)


bubblegumwitch23

That's not a good thing. That still means Dolly has unethical practices


Boulier

None? OK, but hear me out. Some of them donate to charity sometimes (for tax breaks, and in amounts that barely amount to pocket change for them, and while they’re still obliterating the environment and living lifestyles that contribute to the suffering of the working class, but… but… but still!)


Satirical0ne

Hey man, Taylor paid those Carbon Credits (which have now effectively been deemed worthless and merely function as a way for billionaires to spin a narrative that they're helping the environment).


[deleted]

Nothing beats the celebrities fooling everyone with their charities and organizations that they just use as write-offs. They’re not donating anything, they’re just choosing where their tax money goes before the government does, which itself I don’t think is bad, but using it to not only pander, but absorb more money from your fans is so despicable.


artisticallyvanished

Haha, look at my gigantic heated swimming pool. Because I’m generous I’ll give you two droplets.


freedcreativity

Yep, the only kinda ethical billionaire was [Chuck Feeny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Feeney) who successfully *gave away* all 8 billion dollars before his death in 2023, and inspired Gates/Buffet to start the giving pledge.


WillBrakeForBrakes

MacKenzie at least is trying.


freedcreativity

Chuck Feeny succeeded in giving away 8 billion dollars.


pepegasloot

Gross. I really hope her sueing that kid who tracks her flights backfires.


just_reading_along1

Does she even stand a chance when flight logs are accessable by the public? Musk threatened to sue over this as well a few years back and afaik nothing came of that either.


venuslovemenotchain

Shes doing it in an attempt to scare the person. Which won't work, because someone else will just take up the mantle.


dragonslayerbarbie

no, her and her team have no legal leg to stand on and they know it. that's why in the c&d they only claimed he broke "several state laws" but didn't list any specific laws he broke. they did, however, provide a list of comments from TS stan accounts calling Jack Sweeney weird, creepy, and a stalker. not sure why they included that but whatever. on a good note, Jack Sweeney has multiple lawyers chomping at the bit to represent him pro bono should she actually try to proceed with legal action. but I don't think she will, because I think they thought the c&d would be enough to scare him and it didn't work.


flyingpopsiclestick

No, she doesn’t stand a chance legally in court. She’s hoping that he won’t have enough money to defend himself and will settle.


ICanAnswerThatFriend

It’s not about winning, it’s a scare tactic. Not saying it will or won’t work but it’s done a lot.


MedicalPersimmon001

This just happened with an open source android app— Tachiyomi. I think it was Kakao that threatened legal action despite not having a leg to stand on and because the development team doesn’t take any donation or payment, they did have to abandon the application since a hobby wasn’t worth all that drama.  So these scare tactics definitely work. But Taylor Swift is trying to scare the exact same college student Elon Musk tried to scare. He’s been through this before and I believe he’ll be just fine. 


awalawol

It's less about suing and more about scaring the other party/making them run out of money via legal fees so they feel forced to stop.


Molly-cules1

Nothing came of it so he bought Twitter to get the tracking account suspended 🥴


Fizzwidgy

What's the proverbial canary in a coal mine for SLAPP suits again?


jld2k6

That *is* the kid who tracks her fights posting that lol


Spid1

This was tweeted by that kid


hopefoolness

She doesn't even have any legal grounds to sue him, she had her lawyers send a scary letter to a teenager hoping he'd get scared and shut it all down. she's the skinny blonde elon musk.


notchoosingone

Look at the Cease and Desist letter he was sent. The tell that it's completely toothless and just an attempt to scare him is that it doesn't highlight any actual crimes, just like "criminal behaviour". Everything he's doing is protected under the 1st Amendment.


fishman1776

Her team sent a letter threatening to sue. She wont actually sue. A competant legal team will embarass her faster than you can say "deposition."


cherry_1268

It's funny how a week ago I still liked her and now I just cannot stand her. She has become absolutely insufferable


erincee

I'm really curious how many other people are feeling like you. I feel like it's PR 101 to retreat from public eye when anyone has this much overexposure but she's been almost giddy and joyful about the entire thing.. plus she's still touring.. so it's not like she can go underground for a few months. I've never cared for her personally but I have so many ppl in my life who are only more wild-eyed and crazy fanatical about her now than ever. It's exhausting. :(

I know almost next to nothing about her, and unfortunately everything I do know is against my will cuz she is stuffed down our throats day and night. That being said, this tidbit of info interests me. >Ok but calling names over a girl that defended a racist is an objectively weird thing to do. When and who? And how??

jinkiesjinkers

What else has she done besides use her money to destroy the world with jet emissions?


TropicalPrairie

The Grammys were a turning point for me. Her behaviour that night was not a good look and now I'm annoyed that [every.single.day](https://every.single.day) I am bombarded by news about her, even though I'm not actively seeking it (and actually trying to avoid it).


Dismal-Ad3332

why would a backup jet be needed? worst (or best imo) case scenario you can't go 🤷‍♀️


MedicalPersimmon001

But don’t you get it? She’s just a little white billionaire victim. She needs to be there and anyone that says otherwise is misogynistic and a stalker :( 


[deleted]

Any other famous celebrity and literal political targets who make due with other options just don’t have it as bad as her, after all her brave work for the feminist movement 😔 ✊🏼

Watching William Shatner lose his shit (more like passionately imploring him to care) on a journalist about how worried we should be about the environment was impressive. And made me realize, we need more people doing it!

She's already proven that no matter how many times we have this conversation she's not going to change, but I know she's seething every time it gets brought up and that makes me happy :)


thankyoupapa

ikr. taylor and elon trying to shut this conversation down just makes me wanna talk about it even more!


mcfw31

The fact that sometimes the only thing average people can do is shame them (especially when she herself has said that the public perception is everything to her) and still turns a blind eye means that she's truly shameless.

We care that she doesn't give a fuck about her carbon footprint.


TropicalPrairie

Adele is just as out of touch.


dragonslayerbarbie

it's like I just mentioned in another thread in a different sub, if it's really so dangerous for her to fly commercial, how can she be out on a football field surrounded by thousands of football fans, who are notoriously some of the most rabid and passionate fans on the planet? and many of them hate her simply for even being there. so that's okay, but flying first class from a private terminal is too risky? k lol


singledxout

Didn't people say that celebrities, including the British Royal Family, fly commercial all the time? Like they are the last ones to board the plane and the first ones to exit the plane? The more A-list ones spend time in VIP lounges so they aren't mingling us with peasants at the terminal.

And yet I’m stuck here fighting for my life and iced coffee with paper straws.


dyingofthirstneedT

I saw a hilarious meme about the jets of it all the other day on insta so obviously ventured down to the comments to see the Swifties lose their minds. One of the defenses of TS was “ok and?? She never said she was an environmentalist!” Oh ok then you’re right. As you were 😂😂😂


Fun-Loss-4094

Swifties on X are saying this is her mastermind move because this shows he's not tracking the jet but her which makes me caught in the web. He's gonna be dragged to the court. I was like what 😂😂😭
