The risk increases with any aircraft, the size is irrelevant. You might as well complain whenever Boeing sells a new airplane.
Fortunately, the ATC regulates the number of aircraft - of any size - that can safely fly in a particular section of airspace.

So you admit, I’m right, but you’re still arguing against me and then how a false equivalence in to top it off. How the fuck does that make any sense? Lmao

I’m arguing that building these planes is no worse than building any other plane.
And there is nothing to suggest that air travel is currently unsafe due to congestion, if anything air travel is decreased from previous years.

Yeah, it’s very clear that your argument is a false equivalence because you’re ignoring the massive differences between the different types of planes and the different safety records between them. And there’s lots of things to suggest that, you’re just ignoring them.

And yet you keep ignoring the fact that all forms of commercial aviation have an excellent safety record.
That means that if you add up annual US fatalities in the small 2-4 passenger planes that you are irrationally worried about, plus slightly larger planes of 4-10 passengers that you are irrationally worried about, plus charter planes of 5-50 passengers, plus regional carriers, plus major airliners, plus any other air passengers you can imagine …
… the grand total would average about ten deaths per year. Still less dangerous than lightning.
And now you want me to believe that this excellent multi-decade safety record would magically be upended by building more aircraft, even though we are already building more aircraft - of all types - and have been for decades.
