To make a miserable man
out of a perfectly good horse,
or not.
a question posed by Stonehearst Asylum, and a fine one.

So now we have to figure out
the specific products and services (and the specific conditions, if any) are important enough to allow for delivery by drone.
because:
will there be exceptions? if we agree, yes, move on. otherwise, emergencies.
now that we agree there will be exceptions, we agree that we are looking at a bit of a mess.
my "important enough" for 30 minute delivery is, according to you, only worthy of 24 hour delivery.
seems untenable. at best it will involve a monstrously wasteful bcy.
i don't want drones flying overhead any more than anyone else. but they almost certainly will be very soon.
- well, the whole 9-1-1 emergency system is pretty organized and works pretty well.
well, yeah, but the responses they are engaged in generally directly affect other drivers on the road. eventually, of course, a drone will fly directly to and carry victims wherever is appropriate, but in the meantime they will almost certainly bring supplies, and this type of capability tends not to threaten the safety of others.
ie. the danger justifies the control.
the less the danger, the less justified the control, with the fundamental assumption that individuals should be free to create and develop products that serve market needs.
usually the result is a heavy blanket of regulations (ie. gun sales) and insurance. i assume that will be the case here.

I'm sure it's to be expected,
but so far, Charlie Baker has looked very much like a deer in the headlights.

An all-time great presser
MBTA GM Beverly Scott (PhD. lol) during Snowmaggedon 2015
Great for a host of reasons.
If I was responsible for managing her, I might have a slightly different take in favor of a calmer, more organized set of responses.
But of course that would have ruined the whole thing and made it a waste of time as most are.
Instead, because of its spontaneity and perhaps her overall lack of experience with such overwhelming levels of attention, this was great stuff.
Attagirl, Dr. Scott!
