Oh, some of you think this is just the Post's snide little attaboy to Sandy Cortez. But make no mistake--there are plenty of dimwits who support the lunacy. Get rid of air travel? Ha, uh...ok. Holy God, Sandy has a degree in economics? Says it all about higher 'learning'.

This is exactly how I feel about air travel. petridishes Amtrak I need to learn about this residency gig!

Yeah because the average Americans takes 0 flights a year. Get your priorities straight.

But according to AOC the world will end if we don’t!

Did y'all change your views on the socialist's proposals because Bezos dinkie pictures are floating around?

I am sure there would still be air travel...just not for the serfs. SocialismKills SocialismSucks

the green deal will go no where. AOC is nuts for even thinking this will pass. No one in there right mind is taking her serious. He college should be tag as not teaching the students. Only 4 democrats support her and there running for president

Watch how many private jets are taken to these 'talks'.

the general concept makes sense. air travel cannot be totally eliminated, but spoiled pampered Americans need to make lifestyle/travel changes that make good climate sense.

Air travel must be greatly reduced!

I say most anyone on the Boston - NY - Washington line would love bullet trains to whisk them between those cities and be able to ride in comfort from downtown to downtown, avoiding schlepping out to the airport hours in advance, sandwiched into ever smaller seats, & flight delay

Y’all are taking the proposal too literally. It’s meant to be a big ask, to get issues on the table and raise awareness.

there is nothing anyone can do to make me click on this

I guess we are all supposed to live the Amish life now?

It's so idiotic I can't stop laughing with friends over it. The whole floor of my office were laughing.

Crash and burn 🔥

I travel between 35-40 weeks out of the year for work. They need to STHU.

AOC 2032

I think this is misunderstood. It's not about getting rid of airplanes. It's about offering other alternatives (rail) to short distance travel. Ex: CAt o AZ Could be faster than air travel

Fast trains regional air travel

They are going to do research into alternative energy. No one is going to stop flying. Just update the energy sources used

Fuck the airlines. The traveler pays baggage fees, kicked off flights, the airline food sucks, TSA is evil, making you wait for 45 minutes to get through. So if a better, more accommodating, economically decent & good for environment method is developed to travel, taking it.

I’m willing to pay a carbon offset. And eat less red meat. But I’m not giving up flying. My kids live across the country.

AOC is a Communist. What do you expect from these people.

How sad and pathetic that this even needs to be written. Y’all have created a monster.

Love the harping on air travel. I SHOULDNT NEED A PLANE TO GET FROM BOSTON TO BALTIMORE IN UNDER 3 HOURS. See: EUROPE.

Replace air travel with faster high speed passenger rail

Air travel is not a gift. We pay for this service and greatly at times.

Or their own money!

Nope. All or nothing.
