55. she used her jet so much this year

Sat Jul 4, 2026, 12:14 PM

it was more travel than during her entire eras tour. it is obscene and indefensible.

I dont think anyone deserves such privilege, but some people still put others up on pedestals and make excuses for billionaires.

and again, comparing my footprint (with me not even owning a car) with her jet travel, not to mention all the merchandising she does and all the fans traveling on planes to her shows is laughable. the argument boils down to emotions for her and granting some people special privileges to harm the environment
