    Abolishing airplanes altogether is one of the least thought out takes I’ve ever heard.

    yea, not altogether. i commented on this before https://lemm.ee/comment/2119584 : air travel should be limited only to transcontinental travel or cross country in Asia’s case (since its a bunch of isles at that point) efficient? ofc, moneywise and timewise. environemently friendly? dont think so. thoses tons of burned kerosene would translate into tons of co2 released, in a single flight. no wonder our globe feels like a microwaved cookware. fast and affordable have a cost.

    i drew the analogy from the game warcraft: u only need to pay for a zeppelin when u want to reach somewhere that couldn’t be accessed by land, in a map. we just live in a bigger map.
