Please send any extra gasoline to the right coast. We’ll take it. Thanks in advance.
Were they additional airports or renovations of older ones?
Singapore and Hong Kong don’t have much land area so I would think they had an airport available more than 20 years ago.
I am all for electric planes. I am guessing they will have very long cords to recharge as needed. /s
Brand spanking new.
The one in HK was the largest reclamation project in the world when it was built. It sits on an artificial island as big as Kowloon. It is a huge (300 gates) but somewhat sterile looking airport.
The Singapore airport opened about 5 years ago and has basically an amusement park in side. The airport is a tourist attraction.
The Istanbul airport opened in 2021 and looks like a shopping mall.
All of them are huge easy to use and attractive.
1. Electric cars, trucks, farm equipment, military vehicles. Does anyone with an IQ above tap water believe that we could sustain even ordinary movement, food production, transportation, preservation, distribution or fight anyone larger than Botswana with batteries? It's all about control, population reduction, making us defenseless. There are no power generations systems or distribution grids now or planned that could possibly handle a whole nation's needs for power.
2. Milage taxes. Yet another Leftist dream - funding all of their bizarre programs using taxes paid by the mile traveled. Another prime example of exerting limitations on we ordinary folks just jumping into a car and driving. Next, we'll expect to try to leave our camps anytime we feel like it..
Just hitch a ride on CCP spy balloons.
This was OBVIOUS and it is yet another reason that a multi-polar world is better than than Western version of the Soviet Union taking over, thanks to the Globalists and Neocons. In this case, they are literally FORCING us to get permission to travel beyond our approved boundaries.
Ideally, most of the world joins the Non-Western axis, and simply traveling to Mexico enables one to hop a jet to 80% of the world...which will otherwise be off limits to Americans and Europeans.
What about how weather forecasts consistently are over-the-top predicting much more dangerous weather conditions than what actually occur? Encourages people with travel plans to stay home and not take chances.
When’s the last time they predicted good weather but it turned out to be horrible and dangerous? Like... never. It’s always the other way around.
(Not my idea; stole it from sister.)
This is how they destroyed the auto industry... corporate average fuel economy requirements. They turned automobiles into appliances.
That’s me. HATE traveling - especially after doing it for a living.
I give zero $**ts about all the interesting people places and things I’m suppossed to be impressed by.
Unless it’s a one-hopper or there’s a racetrack, I’m not going anywhere.
“Flight prices will go up to buy offsets but most airports in Europe will remain open.”
Offsets are a scam. CO2 that is emitted eight miles up stays in the atmosphere far, far longer than CO2 emitted at ground level.
There is also the matter of the US<->Europe flight paths that place those CO2 emissions in the northern latitudes near the ice of the Arctic, Greenland and Canadian fire areas.
I find it amazing that Reverend Gore’s flock does not scream about transatlantic air travel.
Nice, unfortunately, it’ll never happen in the US. Thanks for pointing out my error in the overbroad “everywhere” remark, lol.
My next traveling will be when Gabe blows the Rapture Horn, Have no desire to leave the USA.

Yeah, the IAH (Bush Airport) in Houston is widely considered to be one of the best airports in the US along with Atlanta. I do not like either of them
The lefties say “bleep our freedom”?! Well I say, bleep their tyranny!
Maybe 5he world should comsider going “net zero” for 6 months or so, and then when it fails to do a stinking thing, inform the left that they can never mention the climate again, that they must apologize to the world for being scam artists, and that they be required to compensate EVERYONE THAT SUFFERED LOSS because of the lefts asinine laws rules regulations and carbon fines.
It will happen here in the US, with the target being free travel between states, unless something gets done about uh... something.
Sorry, Sir, our hotel has been taken over by the government to house invaders.
They even admitted that was the goal.
If you want to travel outside your zone you will have to get permission and get your time away approved, the approval of where you want to go to go there, when you will be back and so forth.
They are indeed a scam, but that’s what airlines will do to navigate through this and pass the cost onto the flier
