The goal of regulation should not be "make reckless endangerment expensive enough that only the plutocrats can afford to do it".


That doesn’t make sense… the vast vast majority of people could never pay the damages of a serious plane crash into another plane or building, regulations or not.


Then why increase the risk and damages by letting private individuals pilot more dangerous aircraft? There are already avenues for people to fly these aircraft that mitigate the risks.


Is the question rhetorical? I don’t see how I could possibly know.
