Quick stop to the bathroom first, dont turn off the engine.
Pssh, your plane doesn’t have a toilet?
You peasants. My toilet has a plane.
Quitting lemmy over these braindead posts. CYA!
Yikes.

Ignore all of the actual billionaires’ and the real issues. Lets instead focus on a random scapegoat in the form of a woman redditors like to shit on :D!
Damn I really love big oil and gas companies, glad TS doesn’t work for any of those :).
they only meme on her because makes people vote against trump
I’m just wondering, okay coming from Japan to the Superbowl she was in a tearing hurry, so not the best example, but normally, how many people are usually in that jet with her? (Separate question maybe: When she’s touring, how do the roadies and equipment get from city to city?) She’s got quite a large entourage, especially when you add in her friends and family and cats and someone to help herd the cats. I wouldn’t want the price or availability of my vacation tickets affected by them all piling on my flight. And touring is her job. She’s going out to entertain the masses, not herself (she seems to be having a good time but still). Would it be better if she stayed put and they all traveled to see her? A few do follow her around but most are pleased to see her show up in their local area. I’m just not convinced it’s the worst waste of resources. Now, the Pope…!
Let me get this right: your argument is that she needs the private jets because she has a large entourage and likes to take her cats with her?
Mainly the cat thing yes.
The argument is “if the plane is full of people it’s different than a CEO going for a joyride alone or with his wife only”.
That doesn’t seem like a relevant difference. She chose to bring the entourage and the cats. If the CEO chooses to bring some friends along are we cool with his carbon footprint all of a sudden?
She performs with the entourage. She needs the roadies, the dancers etc. If a CEO brought their workers for a job, then yeah, I’m cool with his “carbon footprint”.
Full of people… Who only need to be there because of her.
This is like arguing it’s more efficient to put wheels on your house and drive it to work every day
Do you have a car? Have you ever visited relatives / gone on vacation by flying? Her job takes her around the world with a group. She doesn’t have to go there by horse carriage.
Comparing a car to a private jet regardless of passenger count is disingenuous in the extreme
I think it depends on need vs want. Does she need her cats, friends and most of the crew? No, she just wants them. Most large venues are able to povide staging crew, for instance. I can see a ‘need’ for a stylist or lighting director for example, since a local placeholder just wouldn’t be able to re-create the exact style or look that they want.
But that’s not enough people to warrant a private jet. I think it’d be more justifiable for the plane to be fitted with regular passenger seating and for those seats to be sold to the public as commercial travel
I would think you’d want crew who had trained on the show, who knew exactly where and when the lighting/pyrotechnics/scenery/instruments/costume/etc. changes need to happen, in order to minimize tech rehearsals. And if you’re Taylor Swift you can afford that, rather than muddle through with whoever is available at the venues in each town of each country. It might even be more cost effective, by way of the Vimes Boots Theory of Economics. And it would pay off in a clean, safe show every time.
As for friends, in a touring lifestyle how would you have any if they can’t come with you, at least sometimes?
Now that suggestion about selling tickets for the rest of the plane is intriguing. She could make a bundle selling them to fans, OR, she could give those spaces to people who need and deserve them. Cancer kids or whatever. Although with the crazy hate out there for her, it would be a security risk…
They use private jet to not mix with so I am sure she doesn’t fly with a dozen of people.
There’s other reasons for flying private.
If you didn’t have to arrive 2 hours early to get through Security, nor limit your liquids, nor take off your shoes, nor take out your cat so its carrier can be scanned, nor wait to board the plane, nor wonder if your baggage made it onto your plane, and you could be sure ahead of time that you’d like the food, and the whole airplane would get quiet if you wanted to sleep, and no crying babies unless you bring one… What would you choose?
And there’s definitely people who want to kill her.
But that doesn’t include her mom or her friends or her stage crew or bodyguards or publicity people.
Taylor Swift is going to be right now!
I better hide from the lawyers! I gave it away! Maybe if I unsee the plane or something I might get off with a warning.

Why differentiate? Who’s advocating private jets around here?
Me, we all need private jets not this elitist crap, everyone should be able to eat breakfast in Paris and then again in New York when they feel like it.
Environmental consequences be dammed?
FOX News was raging on Taylor for her huge carbon foot print. Ignored the other private jets in town for the game.
I think I don’t like any of the people who have private jets.
All private jets should be banned. Recreational flying should be banned in general lol.
No I don’t really care. Just thought it was funny. I like Taylor Swift.
Sounds like you need a private jet to take you to meme town.
All private jets.
Coincidentally everyone that owns a private jet is someone I dont like.
It’s weird, huh. Private jets seem to do that to people.
Taylor Swift wishing the deepfakes nude are trending again.
those were really well done and tasteful if I must say.

This meme has been brought to you by FOX news and the fossil fuel lobby.
Are we suggesting that Taylor Swift is an individual here?
Because taking a private jet everywhere isn’t exactly the same as the fossil fuel industry pinning climate change on the everyday person’s emissions.
I mean, by definition she is an individual. A really bad individual when it comes to see CO2 emissions.
If you’re interested in improving things. Then all the Taylor Swift posting is actually working against you. You’re basically spreading the vibe that Taylor Swift alone is the problem or that people who travel a lot in private jets are the problem. Which is not a useful truth in that there are way bigger polluters.
What would be great is if we got a bunch of funny memes about industry producing a huge amount of fossil fuels. That would be more productive.
If you distribute the emissions on all the consumers, the concert goers then it’s probably negligible. And their fault. So we should attack people who go to music concerts. But really we should attack celebrity culture. Much less funny meme though
I can’t believe I didn’t realize this but a few days ago someone here mentioned she could take a tour bus.
Duh!
She could reduce intra-country emissions by a lot but still use her jet to fly abroad.
Yeah flying around the country performing concerts is absurdly wasteful, but we are in an apocalypse movie, this subplot about a musician flying around maybe being selfish or not just doesn’t really register amid the thunderous sounds of corporations and the rich demolishing whole swaths of our planet.
Billionaires flying around on jets is disgusting because they don’t actually do anything they just tell other people what to do, fire people and collect the money. At least taylor swift or any other musician flying around actually PHYSICALLY gets up on stage and plays the gig in the cities they fly too.
I got a similar one in Spanish:
image description: an image of elaborate circular clouds left by jets in four quadrants with the text “la taylor swift paseando a su perro”
lit: Taylor swift waking her dog
That dog must have a really deep sleep
waking her dog 💤🐕
walking her dog 💃🐕
Yep, spelling matters.
Hey, do you maybe know of any interesting Spanish Lemmy communities? I am currently learning the language and would really like to find more Spanish content here
check out mujico.org
Wait a second this picture is photoshopped 😡
It looked real for a second
Freaking AI-generated images. I don’t even know what’s real and what’s fake anymore. Would this be considered a “deep-fake”?
How many fingers does the airplane have?
Good point, I don’t see any! Definitely AI generated… The plane is missing all of its fingers!
It’s always the hands
Artists: ugh I can’t draw hands
AI: ヘ（。□°）ヘ
It’s plane to see
Very crafty.
Flew over my head
Smh the paparazzi are ruthless these days. How did they even get this photo?
Oh no!!! 😱😱😱
Take that down! It leads to harassment and stalking of her!!!11 😥😥😥deleted by creator
