Go there every day and ask for a water. It's free, but you're costing them a tiny amount each time.
Oh I was gonna recommend arson. Maybe your plan is better
Free water, arson, bricks, and bullhorns. With these four powers combined, I am.. Captain Protest!

The sooner we destroy all private jets the better.
*private jet owners
Both?
…To shreds you say?
There are legitimate reasons for private jets to exist, though the list is admittedly small.
The ability to transport lifesaving medications and things like organs long distances as fast as possible comes to mind.
There isn't much reason for individuals to travel on private jets in non emergency scenarios though
Transporting organs doesn't happen on Private Jets, helicopters and courier craft typically do the job. It's also now well within the possibility for medium sized drones to be able to rapdily move something the size of an organ container reliably long distance, faster and more efficient than a jet can load, fuel, taxi, land and unload.
Private Jets are just luxury items of the rich, and are the carbon equivalent of burning down small forests or power a small town with coal burning. There is nothing they do that can't be done more efficiently by a drone or helicopter for a fraction of the emissions.

I'm sorry, if you aren't willing to relocate, you are not a good fit for the company.
I heard this in a job interview and the position was disclosed as remote.
I don't understand why can't the CEO be remote. They can buy all their important staff Apple Vision Pros if they'd like and it'll still be cheaper than this
That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.
Next time Starbucks does a greenwashing campaign just think of this asshole drinking champagne while commuting on a private jet.

Calling it "supercommute" is such a stupid thing. It should be called "stupidcommute" or maybe "commoronute".
I have to dry my clothes between 12am and 3pm and this m'fer gets to fly a jet to work. Private jets along with luxury yachts are things humanity shouldn't have.

Well fuck you and your co² farting anus, Brian Niccol!
Real "Meetings that could have been Emails" energy on this executive level decision.
Honestly, doing the big Star Wars Emperor hologram head would have made this guy look less evil.
Do we have the FAA registration number for the aforementioned jet yet?
Didn't they change the law so you can't track private flights anymore? Or was Melon Husk just trying to get that done? Or was that just me imagining things again? 🤔
As far as I know, you can still track Elon's flights. It's not illegal since it was all publicly available information to begin with.

They can't prevent tracking because aircraft are required to broadcast their information when in flight.

The FAA reauthorization act slipped in that ownership of private jets could remain anonymous. So you can still track them, because all flight plans are public and need to be for safety reasons, but they no longer have to tell you who owns what tail number. A dedicated tracker can figure out what plane belongs to who, either by showing up at the airport, or by comparing flight logs with other information about celebrity locations.

Niccol can live in his home in Newport Beach, California and commute to Starbucks’ head office 1,000 miles away on a corporate jet
Replace all the Taylor Swift memes with this fucking guy.
Bro should one way supercommute into the sun
We need to return to the office though.
Remember kids, climate change is your fault specifically, and only you can make things better by making your own life harder!

Lucky him. Other corporations are designating hub cities and forcing remote employees to move or find a new job.
