> But I am also 100% for targeting private jet users. Private jet users are exactly the people who push climate change policies but feel zero impact of their agenda.

I cannot strongly disagree with your point. But by that logic, targeting Rolls-Royce/Bentley/Aston Martin drivers (or, more specifically, owners, given they are likely to have chaffeurs), as well as house owners in Calabasas (SoCal) and Los Altos Hills (Bay Area) would work just as well.

Where precisely would you hold a demonstration to protest the widely distributed Bentleys of Calabasas?

Jets tend to congregate conveniently at a small number of public locations. Their per capita emissions are egregious; their missions are frivolous. Perfect target.

Fair point about Bentleys, but not about Calabasas. You would protest Calabasas mansion owners in Calabasas, South California. Same with Los Altos Hills mansion owners in Los Altos Hills neighborhood in Bay Area. Those two aren't brands, they are areas/neighborhoods.
