Love how this thing that people universally do not want is hoovering up money like nothing we’ve seen before, while simultaneously consuming resources we need on an unprecedented scale…as healthcare, education, and infrastructure – all things in serious need of funding – continue to wither into dreams that will never come true for the people all this money is coming from.

The logical extension of this trajectory — and the question the entire private aviation industry should be asking — is: what about the $70 million jet you landed at Teterboro this morning?

It’s very interesting to see just how out of touch they are. You can even see him trying to appeal to non-billionaires by making it sound like he actually gives a fuck about them. “Omg, you’re inheriting a million dollar property? How will you handle the taxes?!? 😱” Then quickly pivots to a more familiar scenario to people in his echelon: "what if I have to pay a fair tax on this ridiculous lifestyle I’m living?!?

How many tools require millions of gallons of water to and require such unbelievably massive amounts of electricity to operate? Do they take 100,000s of square feet with infrastructure? Generate massive amounts of noise and waste?
