Lifestyles of the rich and shameless:

TikTok reacts to rich couple’s pros and cons of traveling via private jet: ‘Thanks for reminding us how poor we are’

I’ve complained before about the complete collapse of good taste and dignity among the very rich. This piece, in which the narrator carries on as though “private vs. commercial” is a real consumer choice rather than just a backhanded way of boasting that you can afford to fly private, is a good example. If you don’t have this choice you have apparently fallen off the humanity scale entirely. She would no doubt get the vapors if you told her there are people who can’t afford to fly at all, not even the peasant/steerage class.
Disclosure: I fly private on short trips, but not in a jet and I do the flying (and a fair part of the maintenance) myself.
