even better, accidentally into trumps airforce one.
And then when their anonymous airplanes crashed into each other, the world felt conflicted about it.
Oh no that would be so sad. Please no.
Putin loves this simple hack
Paparazzi can become useful by simply being the ones reporting the plane movement as they follow them around in person.
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
These two are the least of out worries now.
Imagine this law in like 1999
That's just awesome 😬😬😬😬
I undertands Musk's, but why do we hate taylor swift now?
It's mostly about how she uses flights. It's a waste of energy and a big contributor to pollution when they are taking a whole ass jet for about 5 people to go 30 miles.
Though, personally, I am not really sure if that's Swift's call. It's likely her managers/producers.
Don’t they also charter their planes when they aren’t being used?
There 👏 are 👏 no 👏 good 👏 billionaires 👏
mostly because shes been promoting what her fans believe, and now she seen as a hypocrite for that. she did. hers a little more complex.
Wait! Think about the children! What if we need to track pedophiles!?
The pedophiles are in power, except "real pedophilia is when the gays do it".
Only poor antifascist trans people are pedophiles dummy. /s

This doesn't do anything, all these aircraft are already in trusts. You can still track them, the N number/ICAO ID is what people are using

Anyone who isn’t rich in America can go fuck yourself is what they’ve been saying for a while in words and actions. Millionaires are the middle class today, actors and athletes and pop stars. Anything below is just a fucking scum fuck to them.
Oddly, millionaires aren't really the middle class. House's in California routinely cost more than a million dollars. And a lot of people probably have a million dollars of retirement in one form or another. (Pensions have a value that very often tops a million). The middle class you are describing (athletes and pop stars) probably are more like 100 million or something. We just don't have a good name for that.
What the "middle class" can afford has changed quite a bit in the last few decades. Owning a home is arguably "upper class" at this point. The median US income was only $80k in 2023. Pentions are also getting increasingly rare. What used to be considered middle class is now struggling to get by. Middle class is defined by the income of the middle third of the population, not by a particular lifestyle.
Petite bourgeoisie is what they are called. Wealthy people without an aristocratic title, not part of the ruling class and who still use their own labor to create wealth.
millionaires are way above middle class, middle class is usually around depending on area, is 50k-100k.year. millionaires are way above that. they usually buy multimillionaire(5+million) dollar homes, and often sometimes have multiples. actors,c elebrities are hundred millionaires, they are very wealthy individuals, billionaires are just obscene.
You're missing their point, they're saying from the point of view of those in power millionaires are middle class.
Although there are some that distinguish a "managerial class" that is in-between the middle class and the billionaires : people like CEOs and such, with net worth in the tens of millions but who are not those who benefit the most from the system and are culturally distinct. I think it's a useful concept personally, as their interests aren't necessarily the same as the owner class but they still have a lot of political power.
