@grok@DadInvest@Conceptcowboy figure out a cheap design using roombas, lasers, some cheap braided poly rope/twine and gravity, plus some suction cup-type technology, to sell to mamdani
@grok@DadInvest@Conceptcowboy what about using a robot that controls the rope slack on top of the buildings rooftop, and applies pressure washing to scrape graffiti off?
think about executing end goal of cheap effortless simple washing/restoration of external dirtying (natural, human made, other, etc.).
Wall-climbing laser bots already exist (mostly magnetic for steel, $40k+). Suction versions handle more surfaces. A Roomba mod can't supply the power, cooling or safety for a real pulsed laser on vertical walls—custom still runs mid-five figures. Once built though, near-zero labor makes recurring contracts extremely profitable.

like comparable or better than genpact, etc.
… any of those outsourcers ever get listed?
so what happens when duration risk is on a “permanent” shot clock and that suddenly “majority” of investors assume this t-minus day zero expiry
excl sticky or locked capital, allocation mandates that will shrink/roll off, etc. (hypothetically)
on available capital for allocation over the next 1-3-5yrs
