I get what you're saying, but...does it? If I look at global real GDP, we're going along, business as usual.
As the OP says, jobs are gained and lost on a much greater scale, monthly. There's a reason that jobs are being shed at this particular company, and it isn't because we no longer need transportation infrastructure. Bombardier is out, Tesla is in.
