Joby will be for the private, the elite, the aristocratic, the nobles, the upper-class and high-society.

All that off-topic Joby bullshit you spewed and you never mentioned cost per flight.

I wonder why.

Estimates suggest that Joby's air taxi service could charge around $200-$500 per ride, depending on the distance, location, and 
other factors. For example:

    A short 10-15 minute ride (e.g., 5-10 miles) might cost around $200-$300.
    A longer 30-60 minute ride (e.g., 20-40 miles) might cost around $400-$600.

But wait... there's more.

Didn't Joby acquire Blade Air Mobility's US air taxi business?

You're referring to Joby Aviation's acquisition of Farnborough Airshow-based Airpoint, which includes a helicopter business.

That changes the dynamics, as Joby Aviation is not only developing a new eVTOL technology but also acquiring an existing helicopter 
business with a established customer base and revenue streams.

(LOL... will be subsidizing their own company with another... WHY?)

In that case, the pricing estimates provided earlier ($200-$500 per ride) are probably too low. Joby Aviation may aim to charge 
more premium prices, potentially in the range of **$500-$1,500** per ride or MORE, depending on the service offerings, distance, 
and other factors.

Your typical everyday man's taxi ride?

Riiiiight.

I'll bet that Blade subsidizes Joby for a LONNNNNG time, before, or IF, Joby ever gets profitable.

Let's talk about this again in 10 years and see where they're at.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
