(John Kerry's Family Private Jet)
I don’t mind these guys flying on private jets - I mind the hypocrisy.
Also, I doubt private jets emit more than 10x the amount of carbon than commercial or 50x more than trains. Maybe that should be clarified - perhaps that is per seat mile.
Yet housing prices continue to rise.
Does chartering a jet fall under the umbrella of “travelling commercially?”
John Kerry was not available for comment he is flying someplace in a Private Jet
BINGO! Kerry flying “commercial?” LOL!
If we really knew the extent, we’d be shooting & hanging folks today.
Sold it? Why didn’t they donate it to a recycling plant?
Greedy bastards.
John Kerry was in Cambodia you know.
Sure, now he'll say he needs to be in first class because his work is more important than everyone else on the plane. Then it's back to private flight for all other travel.
FUNNY HOW APPROPRIATE “FLYING SQUIRREL” connects to John Kerry.
Leased back with the taxpaying chumps paying for the fuel. After all, he is the climate envoy. Whatever would we do without a climate envoy?
Shortly??? People have been talking about this for a while.
Kin ah git me a private jet heah?
FTA: Four days later, an individual named Yvonne Rivera requested the FAA place an industry-level Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) on the aircraft to block it from being publicly tracked
This means Kerry is still using it.
