Amphibious Electric Vehicles
Is the total market for these small amphibious EVs really projected to be $4.7 billion by 2027? Well, I’m sure, if you ask the guy who proposes to build them and who wants you to invest in his company.
Some reasons I’m skeptical:
• The power output required to make this thing hover across water at the speeds shown here must be enormous. That means either a) huge, expensive battery packs, or b) extremely short durations of continuous use, both of which are deal-killers.
• It’s marketed for use in package delivery? Think about how rare the occasion would be that would make this vehicle practical for that purpose. Hey, we need to take this parcel to a place across that small lake, but there are no roads over there. Does that sound like something that often happens in the real world?
• It’s marketed for use in search and rescue? I would have to think that severely limited range would be a serious objection here. I would certainly hope so, if my kid were drowning.
• The video shows an artist’s rendering. You can’t even build one that actually works? I’m always leery when I come across this.
Sorry, no.

Here’s a thought I wanted to share; it had never entered my head before.
Apparently, the GOP is upset that Trump is endorsing “trainwreck” candidates.
So true. Unless you sell guns, MAGA hats, “Abortion Is Murder” paraphernalia, and the like, you would do well to keep your ignorance and hatred to yourself.
Just got off a long Zoom call with some old high school friends, two of whom are extremely senior professors of constitution law, and several others are medical doctors. Given the leaked Alito decision, the issue of abortion dominated the call. 
Mike Pence is such an insipid human being that it’s almost amusing to find him in the news. Apparently, he’s breaking away from Trump re: the Georgia gubernatorial race and is backing the opponent of the former president’s pick.
