Of course it does. 10th Amendment.

Per the 9th Amendment, it doesn't have to. In fact the feds have no authority to regulate flight at all, other than across national borders. If the Constitution were amended to allow the FAA, then it would be Constitutional.

That would take 10-30+ years and result in global human misery beyond reckoning.
That's crazy talk. Where there is a demand someone will step in to fill the supply. Econ 101.

Jupiter is a little bigger than earth and a little easier to hit.

That is true, as the period from WW2 to 1981 illustrates perfectly. The reason why is because labor was given a much larger share of capital than it ever had before, or since. That has been undone and society is back to the gilded age. Under the current rules many billionaires are created before there's enough minimum wage jobs to go around.The USA may be relatively comfortable but has become very much a thirld world economy.

Nope, never heard of it.

Easy trivia questions for aviators:
What two railroads merged to form the BNSF?
What three railroads made up "The Chessie System?" Follow up: why was it called "The Chessie System?"

Easy. Burlington Northern and Santa Fe. I almost went to work for them as a dispatcher in 2009, during my last furlough.

I don't know the exact answer to the second but I'm thinking Chessie was part of C&O? I fail as rail foamer.

C&O+ B&O+Western Maryland = Chessie System. Wasn’t it named after a cartoon, or something? It had something to do with the logo right?

Chessie System+ Atlantic Coast Line= CSX Transportation, correct? Still a foamer, I probably should’ve worked for a railroad vice aviation. I’d be close to retirement now!
