And in the ever-expanding bureaucracy category, we have the FAA’s proposed rule requiring commercial balloon pilots to have a medical. As many may recall, this legislation was reactive to an accident in Texas.
Since issuing medicals has not been shown to improve the safety of flight in private airplane pilots, this seems to just be more waste of time and money for everyone.
Suggest commenting on it in the Federal Register in a negative way.

We have to keep paying federal paper pushers. After all, there aren't many jobs that actually produce something concrete in the U.S. anymore.

I just don’t know how they have time to make rules on medical issues when we have such pressing safety-of-flight issues like using gender neutral language. Have you seen how thick the FAR/AIM is? That job will take years!

Nah. Now that we're in the computer age, the job will be easy. In olden days the command would have been c/man/person/*. I don't know how it's done now, but we cannot neglect this vitally important duty.
