I hope a traffic controller guides Elon's jet into the tarmac.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

even better, accidentally into trumps airforce one.

And then when their anonymous airplanes crashed into each other, the world felt conflicted about it.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 5 points 6 days ago

Oh no that would be so sad. Please no.

Paparazzi can become useful by simply being the ones reporting the plane movement as they follow them around in person.

Appropriate

How about drones? If you don't want all of your information avaible online and don't want remoteid to directly tell anyone and everyone where you live you can request not to do any of that stuff, right? Oh no, this is just for rich people flying in private jets that can transport humans and tons of cargo.

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

It's also for middle class people flying around in single-engine bug smashers

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Elon now can more easily buy his specialK, lol

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

all that premium cocaine from columbia.

Well then...

As a #SovereignCitizen, I will not comply with FAA drone laws 😏

Bonus points: Y'all can use an app called Rattlegram to convert a sting of text into audio that can be played over amateur radio. And if you encrypt the text beforehand using encryption tools such as Secure Space Encryptor (known as Paranoia Text Encryption on iOS), or Open PGP (both are open source), before pasting the ciphertext into Rattlegram (also open source), you have encrypted off-grid communications.

This is #Murica! The president can ignore laws. So can we. 😎

Luckily the FAA has no power in europe

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don't care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?

Huh... Recent context has really ruined jokes like this...

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You have to go at it the other way, now:

As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don't have money, then what will trickle down to me?

Wait no that's still not funny at all.

These two are the least of out worries now.

Imagine this law in like 1999

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 55 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

She may not be as bad but she's still a billionaire who rides her private jet everywhere on a whim contributing more to climate change than thousands of people will in multiple lifetimes and was included in the Panama Papers. Her greed and abuse of the system will always be closer to Elon than any of us

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

the joke about her being extremely vexatiously litigious around her music too.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 22 points 6 days ago

She still has the carbon footprint of a small country.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

No. Ethical. Billionaires.

Every day she wakes up and chooses not to solve homelessness in Tennessee.

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

She's more like Elon than any of us will ever be

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

many people tried to astroturfed she dint come from money,. she literally came from an upper middle class upbringing bordering wealthy. her family moved her to tennessee so she looks "poorer" than she is to her fans.
