Billionaire Joyrides to Space: the Ultimate Symbol of Privilege and Pollution
— While millions of people around the world are struggling to afford basic necessities like food, healthcare, and shelter, and nature destruction skyrockets, the Blue Origin company, founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, has been launching super-rich people and their friends into space on joyrides that cost tens of millions of dollars.
The inequality and climate impact gap between the super-rich and the rest of us is widening, and space joyrides are the epitome of it.
Much like their private jets, these space joyrides are a blatant display of excess and a polluting lifestyle for luxury and convenience.
A distraction from the needs of people and planet
The latest Blue Origin space ride was the first all-female space team in 60 years and was aiming to inspire women with a “you can achieve anything” message. But why would we be inspired by a vanity ride to space? Nothing significant has been achieved for regular people.
Women are still being hit the hardest by the impacts of the climate and nature crisis. Entire communities are being torn apart by increasingly frequent and devastating climate disasters. Natural resources are depleting, and our planet is facing irreversible damage.
We must hold the super-rich accountable and redistribute the resources to build a fair, sustainable future for all.
We need global tax rules that work for regular people, not multinational corporations and the super-rich. No more joy rides into space.
No more hoarding extreme wealth while communities burn and people struggle to make ends meet.
If the super-rich can afford to take a ride to space, surely they can afford to pay their fair share of taxes
We’re constantly told there’s “not enough money” to solve these global crises. The truth is that the money is there, it’s just in the wrong pockets.
There’s more than enough wealth to fix these problems but it’s hoarded by a small percentage of people who profit off exploitation, pollution, and systemic inequality.
It’s time we demand that those who pollute the most and have benefited from this broken system step up and contribute their fair share, like all of us.
If governments taxed the super-rich, we could build a more just and green future for everyone: where families aren’t forced to choose between putting food on the table and keeping their homes warm, where people could have access to quality public services, affordable healthcare, green homes and sustainable public transportation
