[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so weird me to that people on DCUM have been on multiple international vacations. I never have (business travel, yes). But popping over to Europe for a long weekend? Cannot relate.[/quote]

Why do you think it's so weird? Maybe you need to grow up & realize not everyone is as narrow minded & limited as you are.[/quote]

It's interesting that this discussion thread isn't really considering the environmental impact of all this jetsetting.[/quote]

Agree.  We are taking one flight for vacation this year, to Italy, and I feel a little guilty about it.  Nobody is saying to stop traveling/flying, but people talking about 5 - 10 vacations a year are not helping.  I have some work travel, that’s not essential, but can’t convince management otherwise.

Because it’s a collective action problem. It does no good for a small group of people to sacrifice while a big group of people carry on as they please. The US could seriously tax all kinds of emissions across industries but…lobbyists. I’m not going to skip vacations with my family while corporations can pollute with impunity. [/quote]

There's a difference though between driving to Chincoteague to a rental house or taking five international trips.[/quote]

But even the latter pales in comparison to corporate pollution or the waste of the mega rich. My neighbor is a private jet pilot. The corp he works for owns 2 gulf streams and employee 6-8 full time pilots. Execs have personal use of the plane too as a perk. Oh the stories he tells. He will fly a family on vacation, then fly the dad home for a 2 hour meeting and then fly him back. They fly adult kids to Vegas for the weekend in the jet. Stuff like that. [/quote]
