Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
People think “well, the trains are comfortable and I don’t even own a private jet.”
But this is always how these things start.
It’s the same thing with people watching the Russians have their property stripped from them and saying “well, I’m not Russian.”
Eroding people’s rights is a gradual process, and they never start with something that seems totally unreasonable.
France on Tuesday formally banned domestic flights on short routes that can be covered by train in less than two-and-a-half hours — a move aimed at reducing airline emissions that has also irked the industry.
Although the measure was included in a 2021 climate law and already applied in practice, some airlines had asked the European Commission to investigate whether it was legal.
The change will mostly rule out air trips between Paris and regional hubs such as Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux, with connecting flights unaffected.
…
The law does specify that train services on the same route must be frequent, timely and well-connected enough to meet the needs of passengers who would otherwise travel by air — and able to absorb the increase in passenger numbers.
People making such trips should be able to make outbound and return train journeys on the same day, having spent eight hours at their destination.
The government had already secured Air France’s compliance with the plan in exchange for a 2020 coronavirus financial support package.
So the government basically destroyed their business with the Covid hoax, and then gave them money for the losses that they caused if they comply to the cow farts hoax?
Democracy is the best thing ever.
Competitors were banned from simply filling the gap.
Laurent Donceel, interim head of industry group Airlines for Europe (A4E), told AFP governments should support “real and significant solutions” to airline emissions, rather than “symbolic bans”.
Brussels had found that “banning these trips will only have minimal effects” on CO2 output, he added.
…
The step comes as French politicians have also been debating how to reduce emissions from private jets.
While Green MPs have called for banning small private flights altogether, Transport Minister Clement Beaune last month trailed a higher climate charge for users from next year.
We’re living in the age of the slippery slope.
“Why do you need to fly from Paris to Bordeaux when the train trip is just 3 hours long?” can quickly turn into “Why do you need to go to work in a car when there’s a perfectly functional public transport system full of vibrants that takes roughly the same time?”
