It depends to what you mean by “rich people.” Yes, climate shambled by the global north, or the to 20% richest citizens of the planet.
I agree that big corporations bear a big burden for climate change, like, for example, Exxon which knew about CO2 since the 50s, and tried to hide it, and lobby against any regulation.
But saying that, us the 99% westerners don’t bare responsability by buying a new iPhone every year, is a lie.
Pollution occurs at the point of extraction, production and logistics, not at the point of consumption.
Given that the corporations own the politicians who make the laws that structure our lives and allow planned obsolescence and a lack of transparency in things like phones, still going to put 90% of the blame on the rich here. Your perspective might be correct in a functional democracy, but that’s not where most people (nor even most Westerners) live.
A better question would be what wasn’t ruined by rich people?
The environment
Serious answer: Disney world. Used to be something a middle class family could save up for.
Now it’s like a $10k trip if you actually want to go on any rides
I went to Disney world for one week every year as a kid. We were not rich. We drove down from Canada in January, stayed in an Orlando suburb, and brought a cooler of sandwiches so we didn’t have to buy food in the park. No way I could take my kids even once now.
Exactly. And everything is about vip passes now
