The kind of waste I’m talking about doesn’t give two fucks about proportionality. CO2 in the atmosphere makes no distinction between being emitted by a single person or three million.
Also, fuck living in a world where only things arbitrarily deemed “useful” are considered worthy. Does art have no place in your world? It’s not “useful”. Should people be banned from having hobbies? Those aren’t “useful”.
I work in a factory making turbine engines, if I worked in a factory making 50k$ watches we would produce just as much CO2.
You absolutely would not. Not even remotely close.
Also, you’re ignoring the emissions over the lifetime of the thing. As soon as the watch is manufactured, it’s emissions contribution is done. That turbine will continue generating emissions over it’s entire existence.

You think art isn’t useful?
Whether you pay a factory to make car priced watched or private jets, all that money pays people who will emit just as much CO2.

In both cases, the products we make are largely useless fabricated demand by advertising.
