Assuming this was between gigs - blame the fans
It’s not like she could safely fly publicly in a post John Lennon world, and when your job requires you to constantly fly around the world i’d imagine that you get pretty used to it. Maybe once SAF becomes more widely produced and available you could complane if she has the doesn’t use it dispite having the money, but I don’t see many practical alternatives for someone who constantly has to travel on tight deadlines for work and is at high risk of getting shot by some nut.
I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that her jet use became a major talking point right after she started pushing statisiticly left leaning young people to get out and vote for collective action. She’s a hypocrite becuse she flys for work so don’t feel bad about staying home and helping the Republicans win more of the legislature so they can keep squashing any hope of any new climate laws.
Similarly there is an active campaign based on the idea both parties are just as bad and it’s all gerrymandered to hell so no point in going out to vote or trying to pass bipartisan anti-gerrymandering ballot initiatives like the kind that have knocked several purple states into new more inline with thier populations.
If your a unpopular minority party which hasn’t won the presidency by popular vote since the eighties large voter turnout is terrifying, and the most popular musician in the world campaigning to increase it amount her young fans twice so.
Sure also rents it out so that it isn’t just sitting.
Could be anyone
No, she own two jets (Dassaults). Even when renting, she will be in the first ranks among all jet renters, carbon footprint wise
Oh for sure, I’m not excusing it or trying to defend her, just pointing out what we know and what we don’t.
cool
In between gigs, she also flies home instead of staying in a hotel.
