Was it really neccessary to fly there?
This is one of those times where it’s entirely justified. Our local government (USA) is saying one thing about foreign lands, but reality is observably different. There’s no way to accomplish this kind of journalism without traveling to the place the administration is lying about.
Why not?
Decent content slop to send their message
It's bad for the environment to take uneccessary flights and it sets a bad example.
Lol... People got on vacations every day, I don't see normies cry about it.
In fact telling a normie not to fly, will make it act indignant
I‘ll not take away the working person‘s well earned vacation once or twice a year, especially in a big country like the US (I generally understand that the attitude towards flying is different there).
But some dude who took a plane to yap in front of an office building? Nah.
Lmfao good lord. Get real
There are very few dedicated passenger liners left in the world that aren't luxury travel cruises. The only one I'm aware of that has a US route only goes across the atlantic from NY to the UK.
The only sea based options to get to China from the US would be to try to get passage on a cargo ship going the same way, or charter a small vessel for the voyage, which would likely cost thousands.
It would be nice to tax plane travel heavily, and then subsidize sail travel to make that more viable, along with mandatory consecutive monthly vacation time for all jobs, like the EU has.
