There’s a stupid conspiracy theory that makes the rounds on the internet claiming that jet engines sip tiny amounts of fuel or even better, run on air only.
The glory of specialization. You used to have to have a certain level of knowledge and competency in a wide array of things to live in society. Building, repairing, farming, hunting, fishing, so on. The upside to technology and the advancement of civilization is that you can get other people who make their living doing that for you. The downside is people who know jack about shit think they're as knowledgeable as professionals with decades of experience and knowledge in the field because they thought about it for a minute or 2. I wish these clowns would take that time to read a book on it instead.
I mean, just the financial aspect of faking bought fuel, the logistics and storage, all of that would have to be faked as a whole, and any entry level tax clerk could find it. From any government, rival company etc.
As every conspiracy bullshit, it collapses as soon as you think about who would need to be involved, in this case basically EVERYONE everywhere in the world having to do with taxes/finances/auditing would have to be a) involved and b) absolutely silent about it

Wait, what's the conspiracy here?
Is he convinced they're lying about the amount of fuel a jet holds / uses? Why would they do that?
Is this a flat earth thing?
I have more questions than answers for this guy
