MODERATORS
5.3% is commercial airlines. 5.3% includes all air travel including commercial and commercial makes up 70% of that 5%. If you're going to argue against something, get it straight what you're actually arguing about.
Also, you're insane if you think that commercial aviation and transport don't contribute to the economy. How do you think your cell phone that you're using to type this nonsense got to you?
Very probably on a boat.
Do you live in China? If not, it may have gotten to you by a combination of means definitely involving an airplane. Even if it didn't make it to you directly, it likely travelled to several different places before it even got in your hands and the likelihood of an airplane being part of that is extremely high.
good for it, it's part of commerce. flying rich assholes around the world not so much. fuck off.
No one’s talking about rich assholes. We’re talking about the top 1% of travelers. That may include some rich assholes but that’s not what the article is talking about. It’s talking about the top 1% of travelers which also includes scientists, public figures, and missionaries.
since you obviously didn't read it the first time.
What are you talking about? The article isn’t talking about the 1% richest. It’s talking about the top 1% of commercial travelers.
