France plans to put an 'ecotax' on nearly all airline flights starting in 2020. The tax could bring in some $200 million that would support modes of travel that pollute less — like trains.

these people , too busy , to riot, done

How about private jets that only carry a few passengers at a time? Tax them too?

Tax tax tax... Wouldn't this push people to drive more anyway (more dangerous, less ecological)

Will it finally make train travel less expensive here? Please

This will be passed onto consumers, thus raising the price to travel to France. Therefore, less people will fly to France and France won’t get the money they foolishly think will come in—as if prices don’t affect consumer behavior.

Sounds like the cost of air travel is about to go up.

I like how and it's other media allies intentionally ignore how it will make air ticket more expensive. Lol

Translation: France's government finds a new scheme to steal people's money and put it in their own pocket. Gas tax didn't work out so well so now they'll try this one to for revenue.

Let this trainwreck burn more slowly 🤡

no it wouldn't
