flygskam

Heh.

The Swedes call it “flygskam,” or “flying shame,” the movement that encourages people to stop taking flights to lower their carbon footprints.

But should most Americans really be ashamed of getting on a plane to see grandma this holiday season?

Answer: No. Not at all.

    I fully understand why Swedes flygskam would be of extreme importance to put in a blog but, why not one peep about the batshit crazy behavior of the current administration of the USA. The silence is deafening.

    Because this blog is for my entertainment, not yours. Send me a check and I’d be happy to write about whatever you like. Meanwhile, there are plenty of other folks writing about that maelstrom.

    Thanks for explaining what the intention for this blog is. My misunderstanding, and my apologies for thinking it was anything more than your source of entertainment.

    I’m going to needlessly fly to several places to get my next round of “elite” status….and I am going to love it!

    Take that you warming liberal cultists!

    Well, I for 1 appreciate Sweden for providing carbon offsets so this will allow more Americans to fly. Dr
