    This infuriates me.

    I would actually love to do more to REDUCE my carbon footprint, but it’s prohibitively expensive to.

    But billionaires (and millionaires) can literally greenify every aspect of their lives, even be carbon-neutral or carbon negative! But they choose not to.

    I think taxing the rich just isn’t enough. We need to CAP the rich. There should be no billionaires.

    Please don’t use this as an excuse for. “It doesn’t matter how much I emit then”.

    Use this as motivation for grassroots and political action aiming to stop the concept of billionaire from existing.

    At some point, things are gonna get bad enough that the masses will turn on them. That’s why they’re all buying islands and building bunkers. We should do it now, while it can make a difference.

      Allowing to self exile to islands will make it easier to trap them. Simply destroy their means of leaving.

      Bunkers are even easier, burying them in trash.

      When no one was looking, Lex Luthor polluted forty million percent more than an average person. He polluted 40,000,000% more. That’s as many as four tens (times a million)%. And that’s terrible.
