The plane being a White Elephant gift is the funniest turn this saga could have taken

41. All of the uber-rich should be shamed and ostracized as a matter of course

They should be treated with the same social disdain as a pederast. Permanently. Just because of who they are.

In the middle of the linked article, they mention a 747-8 (the largest variant) purchased by the Saudis and then scrapped for parts after only 42 hours of flight time.

This plane took years to build, required hundreds of thousands of labor hours, consumed gobs of raw materials (aluminum, steel, composites, chemicals, etc.) that took a toll on the environment to obtain and process, and cost over $350M. And it was basically thrown in the trash after little more than the ferry flight from Seattle to Saudi Arabia.

This level of waste should be am international crime given the disease, poverty, despair and starvation that exists around the world.

There aren't enough "fuck you's" in the multiverse for these people. They should be disqualified as human beings. Fuck Musk. Fuck Bezos. Fuck Saudi royalty.
