    The ultimate quest for wealth is worth destroying the planet.

    Also vast majority of people take planes for leisure, I’m sure we can deal without them. People used to travel the world in sail boats and they still managed to get where they wanted to go.

      I don’t think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.

      This isn’t a quest for “wealth”, it’s a quest for life

          A) to go and earn any money B) I actually pollute less in the place that I moved to since I don’t have to drive a car

            Sure sure, whatever helps you justify the fact you’re in a plane instead of using greener travel methods.
