Yes, I think airlines should go extinct. They're inherently unsustainable.

The problem is, I don't have any say in the matter, while corporations have a lot of power, and rich people depend on airlines.

So, it's unlikely that the beneficiaries of an unsustainable industry will voluntarily decide to drive it to extinction.

According to Oxfam, if you earn more than $30,000 per year, you're in the top 10% of the world's wealthiest.
