People calling flying cars a gimmick or old technology are missing the point. The idea isn’t new, but making it practical, safe, affordable, and scalable is the real challenge. The Wright brothers didn’t invent the idea of flight. They helped make it a reality. Innovation isn’t always about inventing something new. Sometimes it’s about making the impossible practical. 🚀
@joshysaysstuff@upperupland But that’s exactly why inflation matters. If 3 tickets cost what 1 does today, you’re comparing different purchasing power. That’s precisely what inflation accounts for.
@joshysaysstuff@upperupland But did you read what you researched? It basically proves my point. You listed all the reasons different eras can't be compared by raw dollars alone. Inflation adjustment isn't perfect, but neither is ignoring inflation entirely.
