Will you need UN approval to leave your 15-minute city?

Problem solved once Brandon installs that track from the US to Europe.

Flight prices will go up to buy offsets but most airports in Europe will remain open. The major airports are where US travelers tend to be flying into at any rate - this would impact European travelers more. But worth watching for certain, especially since I plan on traveling 3-6 months a year when I retire in 2-4 years at ~44-45. If I can’t travel outside of the US much, would force me back into corporate America to stay busy, ugh.

Zero emissions air travel, that’s simple, just use an array of batteries to power electric propellers. A 5 year old could have thought of that. (and that’s where the left’s mind is at) /s/

Now we have the elites that preach glowbull warming, yet they run around in airplanes.

I would like to think the pendulum is starting to swing back to normal with SCOTUS making some good rulings. But then again remember when we all thought we were winning when Trump was prez? The left sure put an end to that. And I have a feeling they will put an end to SCOTUS, even if they have some of them accidentally falling out of a window.

I’m content to let Michael Palin travel the world so I don’t have to.

I watched a youtube video of someone hiking the Great Wall of China. It was exhausting. Don’t have to go there now.

Just submit your request with the dates and locations you wish to travel to your ward-supervisor and they'll send it up the chain for approval. 🤪

I don’t think they’ve built a new airport anywhere in the first world for decades. Too hard to do something like that thanks to eco nazi regulations.

That’s why they can’t keep up w/the travel demand and one storm causes boku delays around the country.

And the trains will all be powered by sail.
BTW, this banning of air travel for the masses has been predicted for years. It’s an obvious extension of zero emissions.

This is exactly what they intend for all of us. Fine for you, & I know lots about traveling is exhausting. But I’d still like to see the world with my own eyes.

Singapore, Hong Kong, and Istanbul. All have really nice relatively new airports built in the last 20 years or so

“nonessential” purposes such as tourism, at least for “the little people.”

Useless eaters... TO THE OVEN WITH THEM..!!

LOL thanks for the laugh this morning with your comment! I might need to do what you do....watch others travel the world on you tube? Sure would be a lot cheaper than doing it myself...and less taxing on my old bones! lol

Hopefully no paywall on this perspective.

"Papers, please".

Also note the UN has a resolution against ammunition hoarding. 25 should be your limit on ammo. More fun from the UN.

I made up my mind a long time ago that air travel as an industry is a dystopian, dysfunctional mess. I’m not sure the industry could even survive without massive taxpayer subsidies and excessive government regulation.

Am I the only one who thinks the world was a better place when airline travel was luxurious and expensive … and done infrequently?

"The airport at Doncaster-Sheffield began preparing to close last September."

Robin Hood closed because it went broke after the last airline pulled out. Emissions had nothing to do with it. It was a vanity project that could not compete with neighboring Leeds.

And really, a second-hand anecdotal story from Cheeto-face? Hilarious.
