I think this is more appropriate for the new Starbucks CEO.
Only because he’s a man will I do so. Filthy men…with their penises, and beards!
I’m a one-hate one-love machine. I can’t hate multiple people at the same time. My heart just gets confused if I try, and then starts flirting with nihilism.
True.
I’m very much opposed to and sad about an international pop star and apparent progressive taking a private jet all the time.
But there’s two things at play that should be differentiated.
- The role model aspect. She has millions of fans that look up to her. She could lead by example and use different means of transportation.
- She’s obviously a unique figure. She’s not replaceable or generic in the position she’s at. Her “position” cannot be replaced by someone else as would be possible with the Starbucks CEO. She’s not “some CEO” taking a Jet to work and thereby normalizing this as a habit for CEOs". Right now there are few if any other celebrities with her status l, so she stands for herself.
The precedent of Starbucks CEO commuting by jet is much more of a blueprint that might be applied to other CEOs. Or already is. I don’t even know his name FFS. So he’s making a precedent that a lot of other people could readily adapt.
I don’t want to excuse anything. I just think that it would be more beneficial to attack CEOs for taking private jets. There’s a lot more of them. They areuch more susceptible to the pressure if the companies is seen as a polluter than Taylor Swift might be. She’s much more independent than any CEO. She doesn’t have to worry if the board of directors or the shareholders are going to replace her if her if her habits are becoming a PR problem. So our energy might be more productively applied elsewhere.
I’m still sad about a seemingly progressive and apparently Intelligent pop star like her flying that much.
Can someone explain
There was an early criticism of celebs like Taylor Swift using private jets, because of the ecological effects / fuel usage; claiming it’s hypocritical because she’s pro-environment.
Honestly, given the equipment / celeb focus (and that people all around the world want to hear her live), the use of a jet isn’t that wasteful imo, but the continued meme of having her take a jet for minor trips is silly enough it’s fun anyway.
There was someone on Instagram or TikTok criticizing her for flying from LAX to another airport like, three minutes away. As though she were on what was almost certainly a repositioning flight. I doubt she has a hanger at LAX.
People are kind of silly.
These did not become numerous enough. We need more, always.
They fit the Starbucks stuporcommuter better.
Tbh, would you want to be in the airport the day Taylor Swift is flying on a regular flight? First, all the seats would be taken by Swifties. Plus of course just her entourage. Second, all the seats on planes that depart from the same terminal would be taken by Swifties who just want to see her through Security.
The development of a country is measured not in how many of the poor own cars, but in how many of the rich use public transit
Taylor Swift should be getting to her concerts by high speed rail. If she needs privacy, she should book a private car. A service which would be available to anyone willing to pay extra.
Yeah! We need to make it really clear that we don’t care about the really big greenhouse gas producers, or the people that are a thousand times more wealthy and more problematic than Tailor Swift.
We just want to sound like we care by targeting someone who is comparatively not doing that much damage.
It’s all for the lulls after all.
