You provided wild ass guess.
Prove it. YOU show us projected charges per flight per person.

Well, for one thing, they're trying to be as close to what they will be now... not in the future, which will probably be higher
than anything you find.
MY source said they WILL probably be higher by the time they get certified and flying.
Not too many sources EVER have the exact figures on things like this, mainly because nothing has come to fruition, so OF COURSE,
dumb ass... while not "guesses" per se, nothing's written in concrete.
Joby probably won't quote their pricing, because they'll always be subject to change, but the prices I provided are not "wild-ass"
guesses, no matter what YOU say.
YOU are not an expert. I've read just as much on this shit as you.
> YOU claim they exist.
Projected costs? Jes. What, exactly is "wrong" about that? Anything YOU find will be the same... projections.
> YOU present your sources.
I already did.
They were from my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid, who's going with
a girl who saw it on the toilet stall at Thirty-One Flavors last night.
And THAT will be as accurate as ANY site YOU cite.
PLONK!

"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."
