Commuting by plane. Out with the guillotines, off with his head.

i doubt that there’s a bigger outward sign of a gap between the rich and the rest of us when you treat a jet like it’s a commuter car.
the icing on this cake is that he’s never fully aware of it and will be rewarded no matter what.

I hope the corporate jet is a Boeing.

Presumably this is more of a c/fuck_planes, because there’s no way he’s driving (19 hours nonstop) or taking a train (28–32 hours).

Tell me why i don’t like Starbucks…
First… Starbucks killed my beloved “Kaffehaus”-culture in vienna.
Now this.
I bought only one fucking coffee there in my whole live. It’s years ago. And it will be the only one in my live.

Oh… and Starbucks is master of tax avoidance

I don’t get why he’d do that. That’s a nearly 3 hour commute each way, so about 5-6 hours in the air each day.
Add to that, a charter jet company quotes the price for that flight at ~$18,000 each way. Maybe reduce the cost of that flight in half, but the yearly bill for transportation alone is going to be in the range $25,000,000+ per year. No CEO is that valuable.

Where does $25M come from? ~260 work days in a year, and using the full 18k each way, is a little under $10M: $18,000×2×260 = $9,360,000
Still a ridiculous transportation bill, of course…
Edit: I think you increased the 18k by a factor of two instead of decreased, and used all 360 days instead of weekdays: $18,000×2×2×360 =$25.92M

That is sort of like arguing that “no medieval Duke or Baron is that valuable.” Guys as rich as him are part of the owning class. They live in a completely different world than the rest of us and most of those positions are decided by nepotism. The MBAs working under the C-suite do all the real work of managing the company while the C-suite types fly around the world, play golf, party on yachts, etc.

You’re assuming he’s going to the office everyday. He’s going to work from home 4 days a week some weeks maybe all the 5 days.

someone do the math on his one-trip emissions and compare it to the average commute
