There's a sense of freedom in our generation maybe that we have from vehicles, which by the way, you hear these stats.

I couldn't wait to get my driver's license.

these new younger kids, sometimes they're 17, 18, 20 years old, they don't have a driver's license, they take Uber.

And I'm like, I couldn't wait to get my driver's license because of the freedom that came along with it.

So yeah, there's a generational divide here, Adam, that I think we have.

But to your point, you're right.

If you look at congestion,

and what technology is going to do to reduce congestion, not by building again more roads or a second 405 on top of the 405, it is you're gonna be able to put cars closer together and move them more systematically across the roadways because technology is gonna help space them and move them in more traffic and flow and the same infrastructure that we have right now.

But we're not there yet and we do have a lot of congestion issues across the country.

I think you're going to see, you know, 5% and 10%, 20% increases as we just look out into the next decade.

We're going to see substantial growth.

But in the U.S., we have the most complicated airspace.

Nobody in the world has an airspace like ours because of our airlines, but also general aviation.

A ton of those planes are in the air and the new innovation as well.

And I think, listen, I think our government,

meaning me in government, we owe it to the American people to think through the big problems that we have and try to resolve them to make people's lives better.

And what we're trying to do with air traffic control, again, we're controlling airplanes and we need to update and upgrade a system.

It's not the easiest thing to do.

So what's happened is it should have been done 20 years ago.

But instead, one person passes it to the next, and they say they have a plan, they say they have money, but they actually don't do anything to fix it.
