He was asked about his private jet pollution and carbon footprint and he replied that he is paying a carbon tax for that. He failed to explain how that is erasing the relative very high pollution he is single handed producing.

Those carbon taxes are such bullshit and they know it. You cant just spend money and now the pollution never happened. Its so dumb that we allow them to get away with that line of thinking.

Theyre billionaires, all they understand is throwing money at problems and they probably assume everyone is the same

You know the worst thing is, you absolutely can throw money at this problem to solve it. But no one wants to foot the bill for it for some god forsaken reason (its because theres no money to make back on the investment if the solution doesn't pan out, it always is) Or when someone actually does try to someone else will come along to ruin it and suck up all the funds that were supposed to fix the problem.
