Why I think this is dystopian: the rich are spending their money to fly their pets on private jets instead of, I don't know, giving a shit about anyone but themselves. And the government lets them. So, while we gasp at grocery prices, Ivanka Trump's dog will be flying first class.

The entire rest of the world: air travel is a serious ecological issue, and maybe we should reexamine how we use it, especially private flights.

This company: lolol private planes for dogs!

It would hilarious if it weren't so tragic.

Flights in May between New York and Los Angeles will cost $6,000 per dog and human pair, and $8,000 for flights between New York and London for each pooch and parent couple.

I just want universal healthcare. Please....

My sentiment exactly.

Yeah but imagine how much better air travel would be if you could just play with dogs the whole time.

Would be outweighed by dogs pissing and shitting themselves out of fear of flight.

Just takes one owner with an aggressive dog and we have canine terror at 1000 feet.

Actually sounds like a fun ride.
