Forbes: Senators Sanders And Warren Strongly Endorse The Benefits Of Private Jet Travel
I don't believe Sanders or Warren is sacrificing or inconveniencing themselves enough. Why are they riding in private jets when commercial flights are available? The Forbes article says they buy carbon offsets, but the payment is probably from campaign funds that other people have contributed, not Sanders' or Warren's personal money. They also preach aplenty about "saving the planet" and against carbon dioxide emissions. Shouldn't they make a greater effort to practice what they preach? Or are they simply taking advantage of their elitist status, which we in the unwashed masses aren't entitled to?
I believe the comparison to CEOs taking private jets is weak. That was 12 years ago when the climate doomsayer talk wasn't so loud, and the CEOs weren't preaching doom.
I plan to make three round trip flights this year. The fares will be paid from my own pocket and the only private jet I have ever used is in my name. 😇
Bernie Sanders is being greedy and stingy with all the campaign money he has amassed, too. Why doesn't he redistribute the wealth to his more needy campaign rival Amy Klobuchar? 😉
