Funny thing you say that since plenty of people were saying how that war won't effect food prices for anyone in Europe.
who the fuck said that?

I personally always said it will effect everyone, but 1. the West should endure; 2. No way Putin's regime can overspend or overlast them.

People are way too dramatic. Recessions happen. Before the last couple decades the US alone averaged a recession every 5-6 years. Recessions happen. And recoveries happen. The same shall happen here. Doom and gloom is ridiculous at the moment.

For example, our current housing market here resembles the 1980s real estate bubble that had just gone up and up and up. When it crashed it took over a decade for the real estate market and prices to fully recover. But it did, and led to this current 15-20 year real estate boom that seems about to crash hard. a correction in this form was needed then and is needed now, even if it hurts in the short term.

People will suffer in 2023-24 when the recession gets going, but once again the economies will recover. As they always do. Business as usual.

Brits and their "city break" crap is destroying the planet like any other form of overconsumption.
Pretty sure the top 10% aren't doing city breaks.

I'd expect the majority of flights by the top 10% are business related and not inconceivable that they are helping secure the future of their businesses to employ the lesser paid. But the article seems more skewed to have a go at "middle aged, white, men" than go into the detail.

The article also makes out that the top 10% are single handily making the emissions, ignoring the role of the airline which they are a passenger on.
