Yesterday the Federal Aviation Administration eliminated a rule requiring the “No Smoking” signs on airplanes to have an “off” switch…only 24 years after smoking became illegal on airplanes.

Nothing said about a “dimmer” control…
You wonder what ai could do with jokes about govt inefficiency.
Create 3 jokes about government inefficiency
Sure, here are three lighthearted jokes about government efficiency:
- Why did the government worker bring a ladder to work? To reach the high levels of inefficiency!
- How many government employees does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to assure everyone that everything possible is being done while the other calls a contractor to actually do it.
- Why don’t government projects ever get finished on time? Because they start a new committee to investigate why the last committee took so long!

First question: does every country in the world, that operates airliners, prohibit smoking on airliners?
Next: what does it cost the aircraft manufacturer to eliminate that “off” switch? Change the tooling that punches all the mounting locations on the instrument panel to not punch a hole for the switch, and reengineer the wire harness to delete the wire that connects to the switch. Then change all the manuals and training information, to delete references to the switch.

No smoking on airline flights is an internatonal standard. There is no need for the sign, only a need for enforcement.
No kidding, my concert singing husband once flew (long ago, peak Brezhnev era) on a small Polish eonomy airline from Warsaw to Budapest, with two seats each side. Right side, no smokng, left side smoking……

There are lot of such stranded rules. Rules that have become moot but no one made an effort to clean them up. The industry could have brought it up but they didn’t either. So blaming government for the efficiency is a biased opinion.
