It's frustrating because it's something universally agreed upon... yet we pretend it can't be fixed. If every single person would simply refuse to fly for 3 to 6 months (exceptions given for emergencies and essential travel) it would 100% get their attention. Voting with our wallets is our super power, but we almost never do it in any organized manner. People are pretty selfish and entitled when it comes to their travel plans, unfortunately. Tragedy of the commons.
