Environmentalist Business Nonsense

Environmentalists are complaining about an American Airlines plane that crossed the Atlantic with only five passengers on it. Ignoring the fact that it was on the first leg of its journey, and that its fuel use would have been about the same if it was 2/3 full, they are showing their business knowledge can be summed up by one word, “non-existent.”

Environmentalists have been campaigning for the government to force airlines to pay for carbon offsetting rather than passing it on to passengers.

Mr Baker said: “This case shows the need for the aviation industry to pay its own tax on fuel rather than the passenger which would give companies the incentive to fill their planes.”

Idiots! The customer will always pay. If you don’t believe me, I have some carbon credits to sell you.
