Though one of them may actually be the Port Authority, now that I think about it. I'm not 100% sure. Either way, NYC is the job center for the off shore wind. It's good, permanent union work. I'd think we want it.

I suspect any mayor would be in favor of off shore wind because the obvious reasons, but also service leases all go to the city coffers.

Not many wind farm plots in NYC. But we already have the facilities to service and build them set up under EDC at Industry City and Staten Island's Arthur Kill Terminal.

Generous return policy, tho. If you have whole foods near you, it's almost stupidly easy.

I just had a funny moment where I realized I don't know a single person in real life that would have any clue what this is.

To be fair, sewer rent is a thing that some communities figure out, and they basically charge it based on how much you put in the sewer (usually estimated based on water usage), and the average person comes out way ahead, while places like restaurants and laundromats get fucked by it.

Sure, you want health data from your work out. OK. This product can do that as well as other existing products. Maybe it is more comfortable to wear?

Ultimately? Yeah, I guess. I think they spent enough money getting influencers and athletes to wear them that it carved out some redundant market interest from things like Fit Bit. But that doesn't blow open some new multi billion dollar avenue in my opinion.

Personally, no. I can see how there is a niche for those personal health tracker kind of things. I'm really just commenting on the proposed use cases the CEO is talking about. While interesting, I don't see those uses driving greater sales, as they are redundant with other devices that we all own.
