He's talking about the money already spent and spending right now. Just the build out investments, given we're talking about trillions of dollars, must be boosting the economy.

Yet, things are tanking anyway. Kind of points to the general economy being in even worse state.

But even that might not do the job. I saw an old mini-doco about helicopter commuting that used to happen but got abandoned after too many structural fatigue failures caused a lot of deaths just from falling/flying debris in congested environments because they flew over lots of buildings all day long.

Most air accidents happen by hitting the ground, not other planes. :D I get the point though, of the in-air accidents, it's the unmanaged smaller craft that hit each other.

So the only way of personal air commuting ever having a change of seeing reality is if there is a fully automated management for flight paths. All local craft know the paths of all other local craft ahead of time and humans are just passengers. No pilots at all.
