Counting just private jet flight about 200 Elons (5kt CO2/y). Some people are even higher, and large yachts are worse than business jets I'd assume.
But I'd say that people tend to actually overestimate the share of super-rich; ten thousand normal US citizens emit more than a single billionaire, and there's not that many billionaires.
COVID did far more than that. The upcoming healthcare cuts for the most vulnerable should take care of at least that many.
It is quite a fair and reasonable way of looking at it.
Or we could have done something really wild like not insist on RTO just to appease the ego of middle managers across the US.
well if we take the covid losses as a "close enough" timeline we've still got a lot of room to grow
I am sure there are more than 18.000 households the majority of US Americans would democratically decide on to cull.
Or deport them.

> Almost 70% of these households are considered “mixed status,” meaning that they also contain lawful immigrants or U.S.-born residents.
That works out to 1.9 million households with only illegal immigrants.
