She outputs more emissions by nearly double compared to the second place

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Isn't that just because she had two jets?

I seem to remember a similar list a while back, and they got rented out a lot. I can't think of many other reasons to have two of the fucking things.

I'd be surprised if a lot of private jet owners don't rent them out tbh. They're not cheap, and even if you're a super duper important rich cunt, how often do you really need to use them?

So you can have mock dog fights. Duh.

You can rent private jets. It's not too crazy expensive if you use the full capacity. It's about 50-100% more than flying on a Delta level flight.

Then... why doesn't she rent in the first place? Why is she so important she needs TWO? That's the EXACT hypocrisy being pointed out.

Cos presumably you make more money if you own them and rent them out yourself...

Although maybe that's not doing so well since she sold one the other week.

The joys of having fuck you money, I guess.

[–] fishos 4 points 10 months ago

Oh, so it's about making money and not the helping the environment. So EXACTLY the hypocrisy people are pointing out.

The original numbers were put out by a marketing agency and have been criticized as inaccurate. Other attempts to quantify private jet usage do not show Taylor Swift in the top 30. Travis Scott, Kim Kardashian, Elon Musk, Beyoncé & Jay-Z, and Bill Gates hold the top 5.
