Even by modern WIRED's low standards of journalism, Boone Ashworth has managed to be subterranean.

Also, this has long-since been obviated with active acoustic/vibration detection in modern rotor drive-trains.

All that said, every registered civilian and military chopper has high duty-cycle manual inspection of rotor blades too. They use both their Mark I eye-balls and ultrasonic transducers.

Being poor is highly correlated with having little to no access to financial “leverage” so it’s very difficult to earn any sort of non-linear return on capital.

Additionally, the vast majority of your capital is solely the current market price of your individual labor.

Computers have consolidated work, media, and entertainment all within the same "box" and even a good deal of close friend interactions are now mediated "on the screen".

I only take it out maybe 20 times per year, but after merely 30s behind the wheel I remember why I keep it.

Fix. Your. Culture.

This is, primarily, why you only see delta wings used in super-sonic aircraft where these limitations are more than made-up for its ability to go trans-sonic with (relative) thrust efficiency.
