I worked at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute in 2014-2016 when Wendy's and Chipotle both started testing drone delivery. They had it pretty much figured out and yet a decade on its still not happening. But sure, drone food delivery is almost here!! This time for real, guys, they promise!

DoorDash was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration to commercially operate a drone delivery service. The company said that in a 2025 pilot, the drones could deliver in an average of 25 minutes. https://wapo.st/4fvxO58

one aggressive hardball thing I would like to see happen is blue states coordinating to have deliberately contradictory and difficult to navigate regulatory environments for hostile regime-aligned businesses such as X. what red states did with abortion pre dobbs.

Both of the last two Democratic presidents have run on explicitly ending wars started by previous administrations and successfully did so at great political cost.
