    God bless USA and it’s president! For starting a real war! Should we starve? Yes we should, as the war not only brings a win, but also money! Thanks Lord for the president you have given us!!! Let’s all starve! /S

    Please begin to restrict fuel for private jets, even if it would be symbolistic

    Well this is the upside of the war. Transport causes pollution so less transport is better for the planet. Similarly most human economic activity is bad for the environment. I think we could do to have a lot less of it. It will give us cave to focus on the important stuff, food, clean water and reading books at home by candlelight on an evening.

    Eh. My impression is that most civilian air travel is not truly necessary. Tourism, and stuff that can be done with remote work.

    I worry about stuff like food prices for the poor. Somebody not being able to fly on vacation - not so much.

      If anything, they should limit fuel for private jets first. If we’re talking luxury - that’s were it is.

      Not with some poor old chap squished like a sardine inside a Ryanair flight.

      That would do a lot more for the environment and for fuel savings.

      I would love to get on a train and arrive well rested into Amsterdam overnight. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet. Hopefully this crisis might speed up more efficient means of transport and reduce tax credits for airline fuel.

      I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.

      Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.

      In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.

      That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.

    Thanks America and your elected regime for meddling in everyone’s lives. You might be shocked to learn your popularity is waning.

      The sad (but unsurprising) thing is, whenever you encourage them to actually take a risk and take some kind of collective action to bring down the pedophile, they say “my job, I’m scared” when in the same paragraph, they talk about how they’re one paycheck from utter destruction.

      They don’t realize that they literally have nothing to lose at this point.

        Even worse, she might have also done the terrible crime of wearing something tan and that would have seriously damaged the reputation of the United States.
