While we're on it, can we get some negative energy for holidays in general? It bugs me that most people have no savings and then we have people just swanning around burning resources for fun. The waste of drawing hard-working people into the tourism sector when they could be working on improving their own communities directly is just appalling. Let alone the environmental damage caused by the travel and the lost productivity from people literally just having fun.

Am I being sarcastic? Not even I am sure. The arguments are truthful. But the fairest way to organise things is that people who made a big economic contribution (represented by money) should be allowed to waste a similar-magnitude-but-smaller amount of resources. That is, ironically, the path to prosperity.

Did you see the backlash the Kardashians got over COVID and flying all their friends to private islands? It was pretty entertaining.
