Rick Bullotta

If I was considering starting/growing a USA manufacturing business right about now, I'd strongly consider building a highly automated (and flexible) factory to produce electric motors and related components.  EVs (ground and air), robotics, even the factories themselves will depend on these.  

WDYT?

If you really want to understand why it is prudent to be skeptical of humanoid robots, watch this excellent report.  Thanks Glenn Vassallo for the link!

Have we made progress? Sure. But the grift and fraud meter is still pegged.
