Syndic

To be fair, she could do that put people would still fixate on the private flight usage.

Some sure would. But with good PR she could definitely come up on top of it. Certainly better than she fares now. And if someone could pull it off, then it's her.

No, obfuscating her travel in charters is the viable ‘solution’ to this problem. Still roughly equivalent environmental impact (actually, potentially a bit more since a charter company might have to do extra empty flights for repositioning), but her travel would be harder to discern.

That would be the "rich way" to avoid such a problem yeah. But it certainly wouldn't make her a better person.

Especially since she's definitely rich enough to offset her global foot print from her jet usage by actively donating to charities trying to protect the planet ten times and she wouldn't feel it one bit.

Heck she could spend a tiny amount of her dragon hoard sized wealth to offset the environmental impact of her air travel. For example by buying endangered rain forest land and donating it to a public charity. But no, she rather uses her wealth as a legal club to try to silence people pointing out the harm she does to the planet.

No one is forcing her to fly around that much. And she's by no means a new up and coming celebrity but has been dealing with this since 2 decades now.

So no, she doesn't get a free pass to use her wealth to silence very deserved criticism of her disgusting global footprint! Heck, she could spend a tiny amount of her dragon hoard sized wealth to donate to environmental protection to offset this footprint. But no, she rather uses that money to sue someone who she knows doesn't have the wealth to fight her legally.

Every civilian aircraft is required by air traffic regulations to broadcast it's flight path and identifier.

So once a plane registration is publicly known to be owned by someone they can of course be tracked. Of course it doesn't mean that the owner is on the plane, but it certainly let's you gather how much they fly around. Turns out that Taylor's jet is used a lot even for private jets, which obviously doesn't make her look good from an environmental point of view. Now she tries to use her wealth to silence people tracking this and pointing it out to the public. Shame on her!

Stimmt. Es sollte aber jedem klar sein,, dass Bayern sich hier einfach ein Alibiprojekt geschaffen hat damit sie sich noch mehr gegen Erneuerbare Energien wehren kann.

"Was wollt ihr denn mehr? Wir stecken gerade so richtig viel Geld in Kernfusion, da haben wir keine Ressourcen für Windräder!"

Ich zweifle auch stark daran, dass da richtig grosse Kohle reingesteckt wird. Oder wenn, dann landet sie in den Taschen von Unternehmer welche sie kennen.

Jetzt kannst du mal raten, warum ewig gestrigen Politiker von Bayern sowas anstossen. Genau, damit sie einen "Grund" haben nicht in erneuerbare Energien zu investieren. Darum erwarte ich von denen auch nicht wirklich viel Einsatz im Thema Kernfusion sondern wohl eher so wenig wie möglich.

Was jetz war oder nicht war ist doch auch zweitrangig. Wichtig ist, dass die Menschen das Gefühl haben, es hätte einen Messerangriff gegeben.

Ich weiss, ist Sarkasmus, aber die Aussage ist gar nicht so falsch, denn genau so funktioniert das! Das perfide an so Falschaussagen ist, dass die Leute welche das Ziel von so Lügen sind, diese lesen und sich so in ihrem Irrglauben bestätigt fühlen. Und man kann ganz sicher sein, dass die verschiedenen Kanäle welche so Lügen verbreiten jetzt ganz bestimmt keine Berichtigung posten.

From democrats? When?

I absolutely don’t think any of these propositions are outlandish or even remotely insulting.

When you look at it from the perspective of the Palestinians who want their own country with the sovereignty this entails, it absolutely is insulting. With those limitations they would be little more than a puppet state of Israel. Not only another state but one they have serious grievances and a bloody history with. There's no way they could accept this. Israel knew this very well!

You're welcome. It was quite eye opening to me when I read it first, so it was worth saving.

I think we should measure this both in periods when relative dominance is held by Democrats and when it is held by Republicans.

OK, the same was still true under Trump. Both sides aren't the same.
