    Right, all of those poor people who take airplanes on their vacations…

    What the fuck are you talking about?

      You need to differentiate between poor in a wealthy country vs. globally poor. I know plenty of “poor” people in the US who can still scrape together enough cash for a plane ticket to go on vacation, but they’re still in tons of debt with zero savings.

        You have to be able to afford to spend thousands to go to any major tourist destination far from you in the U.S. or Europe when you factor in the cost of air travel, hotel cost and food, not to mention any attractions you might want to see while there.

        If you can afford to “scrape together” enough to do that, you are not poor. It really sounds like your privilege is showing.

        “Fuck the people struggling to survive for having the ability to live a little and go on vacation, they deserve to be punished the exact same as the millionaires and billionaires jumping into their private planed to fly 45mins to skip an hour of LA traffic.”

        That’s what you sounds like, you sound stupid.
