I get your point on jets and yachts, but I don’t see punishing folks just for having the means to acquire them.

The point is rich virtue signalers always come up with sacrifices that will hurt low and middle income people but won't affect them. There's always a handy excuse as to why its perfectly OK for them to completely flout whatever "rules" they say should be placed on everybody to "save da Erf". When you point out their absolutely flaming hypocrisy to them they come up with some mealy mouthed excuses about how they paid for "carbon credits" and therefore its OK.

That's why I call carbon credits "Green Indulgences" from the Church of Gaia. They are EXACTLY the same thing that Indulgences were to the medieval Catholic Church. Hey, as long as you've got money, you can commit all the sins you want and just buy your way out. You can even preach about how everybody else should be godly and make sacrifices even as you live a life of sin.

Its the same thing.

So I come up with a list of sacrifices that don't touch the working class or the middle class but will hit the rich like a punch in the face. Let's see how THEY like making all the "sacrifices" for Gaia. Just a wild guess here.....they won't like it one bit.
