    Neat! I’m glad you are comfortable within your bubble.

    On a different tonal note, it’s very impressive you have the resources to single-handedly ruin the housing market, but choose not to. /s

    I’m satisfied being well below average in CO2 contribution. I need to see new places in person, and that need serves me much better than putting all my efforts into lowering the CO2 average consumption by another -0.002 kg/year.

      Who TF is comfortable? Definitely not me. You don’t have a need to travel, you just don’t give AF about anybody but yourself. Tell people in low-lying island nations why you “just can’t help yourself” but to flood their homes because you can’t sit still.

        Yeah, that doesn’t happen because of me. You can keep trying to shame me as an outlet for your anger from the ultra-wealthy and large businesses if that makes you feel better.

        Unprofessional opinion tho, trying to make yourself feel more morally correct because you have different needs or can’t access them isn’t the healthiest way to express these feelings.

        The average Joe is not accountable for any meaningful amount of pollution until after the private jets are prohibited. My city does what it can with local ordinance, and I do what I can to contribute to carbon neutral initiatives. Reduce has been the big focus this year. I’m thankful to have a place to bring my own bottles for soap, shampoo, laudry detergent, deodrant bars, and such.

        You judge people before trying to know them and ask questions. Your assumptions hold you back.

          You’re right in that the average Joe isn’t the most accountable, but the average Joe can hurt the companies and people who ARE most accountable. That means not indulging them, and definitely not giving them money.

            And so you have beef with my habits because… I don’t know. I’m still trying to connect how me using an AirBnB maybe once a year within the USA not in Tourism cities is related to giving non-citizen landowners of foreign properties money.

            Are you saying because I use AirBnB at all it is benefiting that group of scalpers? That sounds like saying using ebay helps scalpers and you shouldn’t ever use ebay because of that. I don’t see/agree with that connection.

              Have you never chosen to boycott a company before? I won’t go to Chick-fil-A for any reason. It doesn’t matter if the franchisee holds the exact same level of hatred for lgbtq+. The fact that it isn’t a disqualifier is enough for me. Not all MAGAts are pedophiles but the fact that they can excuse it for other reasons in their head means I don’t fucking talk to those people. So yeah, you giving money to horrible people makes me think of you a certain way.
