Interesting podcast episode of Vox's Today Explained on private jets--I didn't realize it, but we all subsidize #LuxuryEmissions from the ultra-rich.

From the journalist Jeff Wise in the article referenced in the podcast:

"The public subsidizes the private-jet lifestyle through taxes that maintain airports and air traffic control...

Today, jet owners pay 87 percent less in federal taxes than what commercial passengers are charged."
