    If you check out elonjet on mastodon it shows his fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

    Tons of co2 per flight. Thousands of gallons of fuel.

    To go 15 minutes away.

      Reddit would probably ban me for what I think should happen to him, but thank goodness we are on Lemm.ee and the fediverse doesn’t seem to like him.

      How many liters of fuel can be produced by pressing Elon?

      Georgism makes most sense when applied to pollution. Determining prices is the only question.

      Now if you employ georgism anyway, maybe it would make sense in other contexts, no?

      I’m still trying to sell libertarianism to folks in the Interwebs, yah, just like Jehova’s witnesses do.
