I thought the FAA, another unConstitutional organization, had already nixed this idea?

Or is it Google’s deeper pockets allowing them more “privileges” than a guy wanting to deliver beer or pizzas via drone...

I would like to see more active thought about a decentralized economy in which people own real property which allows them to be free and independent. That seems like a worthy Conservative goal.

Here's the problem:
Robots can (or will) be able to produce most things (including fast food) and provide many services.
Our society and our education systems are very broken -- we aren't good and producing lots of smart people with good work ethics.
Foreign competition is giving us a good run for the money.
3-D printer technology can (or will) bring many simple devices within reach without much of an infrastructure or need for labor.

Possible solution (for those who would want it):
Own a few acres of land.
Build a tiny house off the grid.
Grow your own food.
Use a 3-D printer for many items, and drones deliver other items when needed.
Freedom. Independence. Property ownership. Who needs government?

And for the people who choose to live differently -- no problem at all. But I sure would like to see government charity ("donated" by others at gunpoint) come to a complete stop. But, hey, if you can find decent employment, that's great. Or die in an alley. Or go homestead (see above).

This is great! My Google deliveries take far too long as it is now.

Drones....just what the terrorists would love to get their hands on.
