I vote for we start destroying the private jets without reservation and if we encounter a legitimate use case we'll deal with it at that time.

But that won't solve anything. That's like treating diabetes by drinking diet soda.

That worked for me, that and sugar free Gatorade. Took me down from 8.3 to 4.5 without insuline. That being said, I'm an anomaly in that I don't eat much processed food or bread. Just a really bad pop addiction.

Yeah, maybe it was a bad example, because in some very specific scenario, it can work. My point was that treating a symptom won't cure the underlying disease. Just like as long as there are rich people, trying to take away their planes won't work.
