Hey look everyone! This person’s a billionaire apologist!
I’m (mostly) joking.
You are correct that she is not on the aame level as the others but as a billionaire and member of the ruling class T-Swizzle has an elevated responsibility to the rest of the world. Instead of helping she continues her massive destruction of the climate.
Until she is leveraging her wealth to make positive change she does not get a pass.
While I catch your meaning, cell phones aren’t the best choice for that comparison, they don’t use much electricity amazingly. Average phone may only take 4 kwh a year to charge. Where I live that would cost less than $1. While my electric bill is around $150, mostly do to air conditioning.
Mostly, the private jet. Idk if she has yachts or mansion(s) but those would also count. It’s not that ordinary people don’t pollute but the scale. The top 50 billionaires each on average pollute more every 1.5hours than an ordinary person does their entire life.
Approximately, 5840 peoples worth a year and they have the wealth to choose otherwise. People charge their phone largely because they have to to stay employed/connected nowadays.
When people have hoarded so much and actively make the world worse instead of better theres no option but to question their morality.
TBF Buc-ee’s is one of the most employee and consumer friendly chains across the US. They publicly post their pay (this image is from last year) and it’s far above what most gas stations (or even retail stores) will pay
Sigh… yeah, I know. For what it is, Buc-ees is pretty great: very tasty food, very nice restrooms, good policies as an employer, etc. The only problem is that “what it is” – literally “the world’s largest convenience store,” a gigantic monument to car-dependency, fossil fuels, and lazy consumerism – is fundamentally pretty terrible.
This conversation is making me crave a pastrami reuben and some beaver nuggets, and I’m kinda hating myself for it.

Oh and buying carbon offsets doesn’t count.
I still don’t understand what she allegedly does to provide significant harm to the climate.
Key word, significant. Every person in this discussion charged their phone this morning from energy that was not 100% renewable.

What do you expect from somebody who uses a corporate logo (of a Texas gas station, no less) as their avatar pic?

I have avatars turned off.
But nice. lol
I’m not a fan of hers but they are still correct that she’s not nearly on the same level as the others.
I agree with you, 100%.
I quantify it as: Taylor might not deserve the guillotine, the rest inarguably do.
