This is a toxic post by someone peeved about not being to stalk people of affluence. There are other ways to address emissions attributed to private jets, such as taxes, while respecting people's privacy.

Moreover the companies many of them operate are more than happy to stalk people for ad dollars. So... I'm not sure why we're going out of our way to protect them specifically.
The government took our property rights to build airspace as a common highway, and we ought to get something out of further taking.
I do have a traditional property right to the airspace above my owned land parcel.
That property right was abridged by the formation of the national airspace system, but there were agreements put into place regarding what safeguards people had against other people abusing that new highway. This is an abridgment of those existing agreements.
(... I think the case can be made that it's a reasonable abridgment, but to a first approximation it looks an awful lot like 'forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges' when only the elite can afford private jets).
How do you tell me you have no empathy for people higher up the status latter than you without telling me you have no empathy for people higher up the status ladder than you?
Maybe don't be a creepy piece of crap.

Why should I have empathy for those who exploit me for their own personal gain?
...which is exactly how all of their revolutions have gone in practice...
Jealousy is a powerful intoxicant.
I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand.
Zuckerberg and his ilk got rich destroying my privacy, but somehow it's unseemly for me to not respect their privacy? Privacy for me but not for thee?
I don't fucking think so.
