“I hereby demand transportation become far more expensive” sure is one way to tackle sticky inflation, a massive set of consumer oriented tax-hikes, and a soft labor market.
Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.

Don’t worry, we have 1,000 surfboards with sails on them that do 3 knots in perfect conditions.
This is the stupidest and most self-destructive USN procurement decision in at least a decade.
Constellation was a relatively healthy program and progressing on a realistic budget and schedule, mostly baseless criticism of it notwithstanding.
