Do you run company that specializes in musical tours? Do you know what it takes to successfully manage one?

I'm not saying that private jets aren't incredibly wasteful in terms of their CO2 production and fossil fuel usage. I'm just saying that the motivation for criticizing Taylor Swift is less about how much she uses her private jet and more about how much political influence she might wield in the coming months. I think the arguments against her are bad faith arguments made either by people who simply don't like her for the sake of not liking her or are trying to disarm her influence in whatever way they can. And I find that completely silly. And every "yeah but" argument you make and every person who downvotes me just proves me more and more right.
