No doubt.

You can't use anything carbon but they are not giving up their private jets, SUVs, mansions and weapons.

That's because they're elite. They get to tell us what we have to do to suck it up and endure the pain, it's good for the planet. As far as personal sacrifices, they need not do that, they're the messengers of doom...

Precisely. We peons are too stupid to know vests best for us, but I’ll trust these elitists who tell me our suffering is for our own good.

Just like it took me time to come to grips with calling the left evil, God forgive me, but I think it's time to just take some people out of the equation.

TBH it's the only way to re-establish any semblance of civility....too many have gotten away with being too belligerent unopposed for too long. Bleed 'em some and they'll reconsider.
 
Here ya go:

President Biden on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at deterring the wrongful detention of U.S. nationals in foreign countries, CNBC reports.

"This executive order reflects the administration's commitment not just to the issues generally but to the families in particular and it has been informed by the government's regular engagements with them," a senior administration official said.

The order empowers the government to impose sanctions on individuals involved in hostage-taking, adds a new State Department travel advisory to warn American travelers about the risk of wrongful detention, and provides more information to the families of Americans who have been wrongfully detained in foreign countries.

Biden signed the order after facing criticism for failing to do more to secure the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner, who pleaded guilty to drug charges earlier this month and could face up to 10 years in Russian prison. Griner was arrested in February at an airport near Moscow after authorities reportedly discovered a vape cartridge containing cannabis in her luggage. Russian media have floated the idea of swapping Griner for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who is serving a 25-year sentence in the United States.

Just days before pleading guilty, Griner sent Biden a handwritten letter begging him not to "forget about me."

So, someone privileged breaks another country's laws. Can't fix stupid. Rich and famous, who gives a shit, anyone who travels outside the country needs to mind their Ps and Qs. But hey, the rules don't apply to them, so they think...

Other than it appeases the left, that order means zero to anyone else such as the countries that are incarcerating Americans for breaking their laws.
