With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

A kitchen thing that got tens and millions of dollars in VC funding and sold almost none of them lol

Good guess! Not quite
Most electric pencil sharpeners didn’t have the tens of millions of dollars in VC funding that went towards this Edsel 😂
