This site is under construction but will hopefully soon have own content on #BanPrivateJets and related topics. In the meantime, here is a sample of articles on the issue:
- This article by Aaron Eisenberg on the Jacobin magazine summarizes the case for the ban from a leftist perspective

- But also The Economist sees the absurdity of private jets, more or less
