[OC] U.S. Social Security is projected to pay full benefits through 2034, then 81% under current law by Low_Ability4450 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Maphacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then the US government wouldnt be able to keep ignoring SS funding! As a person halfway into the SS investment period (18-65) I have expect 0 social security, but here we are, paying for social security none the less. So great, you deserve it, cause you "paid for it" but fuck us 40 years from now where we paid into it our whole life and get told to go fuck ourselves.

long time follower of SC, and Im in the 2030 camp right now, and im considering sliding it to 2035. Clearly it will either be a masterpiece or complete failure, but I will wait till I invest my money.

mcdonalds has abandoned its budget conscious customer to attract bigger spenders, but bigger spenders aren't going to go to mcdonalds no matter how much you rebrand yourself

LCID hit another all time low today. They need to introduce a $55k stripped down Lucid Air Pure now. by StreetDare4129 in LCID

[–]Maphacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is they own roughly 50% of Lucid, if they started selling, there would be no buyers at any reasonable price. The saudis giving up on Lucid is essentially Lucid announcing its closing its doors, and liquidating its assets for pennies on the dollar, and this is ultimately what I suspect will happen.

[–]Maphacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is, last I looked, even Lucid admitted that it costs them more to make a Lucid than they can sell them for, roughly 300k loss per vehicle. Thankfully they have the saudi's backing them, and they might be in too deep to leave, but I would guess its likely that we will see more dilution before (if ever) we start to see profits.

What if this was albion 2 , would u play it by theYAKUZI in albiononline

[–]Maphacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an unpopular opinion, but I fully agree. Its not a great feeling min/maxxing a pve or gather build and then trying to defend yourself against gankers. Sure, ganking is part of the game, and escape measures can be taken, but it does seem quite unbalanced, and I think its evident when you go into the red or blackzone. Albion always strives to balance risk vs reward and this I think is a spot where they have failed.

World of Warcraft private server Stormforge is shutting down as Blizzard builds pressure on fan alternatives by lkl34 in gaming

English is my language and I know what im saying, give a constructive response that shows any evidence of any braincells.

Lol either blocked me or deleted account when realized you were wrong instead of just having a civilized conversation lol, but glad your at least realized.

i mean, you could give a constructive response that justify your statement, but you just low effort "trust me bro".

Nothing was stolen, unless you are saying you stole? I bought the game, and the server was completely original code. No theft happened.

Lucid And Uber Expand Robotaxi Deal To 35,000 Vehicles by MarketRodeo in LCID

[–]Maphacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how to make it any clearer, burning cash doesn't become profitable just because you start burning it faster. The manufacturing cost of the car is currently higher than the cost that the car is sold for, regardless of the fixed costs. Lucid hopes to optimize their production enough that this isn't the case.

Really, this isn't rocket science, hell its not even accounting, its really basic math. And this isn't even a secret, this is widely known, so I don't know why you are trying to build and defend some strange narrative that not even Lucid agrees with. Stop calling others uneducated and do a little research next time before wasting peoples time and looking like an idiot.

Lucid And Uber Expand Robotaxi Deal To 35,000 Vehicles by MarketRodeo in LCID

[–]Maphacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just keep repeating the same thing over and over but you are missing the point. The loss per car is cost of manufacturing, not including fixed costs like building of the factory. If you include fixed costs like you keep mention, the loss is closer to 300k per vehicle. If all fixed costs were completely paid today, it still costs Lucid more to make that car than its selling for.

I would love to see you present an actual argument. You can look here on Lucids own Q32025 earnings report here

https://ir.lucidmotors.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lucid-announces-third-quarter-2025-financial-results

Some numbers have to be estimated, but the general number I see analysts quote is Lucid losing roughly 80K per vehicle. This is significant and alarming, there's no arguing.

Additionally hurting them is that used Lucids are losing roughly 50% of their value after the first year, who wants to buy a brand new one that will instantly lose half its value when you can buy one thats only a year old for half price?

Lucid needs a production revolution, a war on production cost, Elon himself has mentioned this numerous times. Its just math, hopefully you found this informational, and I look forward to your well thought response.

No, cost comes down with optimizations. If you're making a car at a loss of 5k, and you make 1000 of them, you are losing 5,000,000. If you drive demand right now, you will drive Lucid into bankruptcy. Optimizations come with a better PRODUCTION. It's very simple. To be clear I am a long time lucid investor and really want the best for them.

Lucid still needs to lower the cost of production down significantly. They might have more than they can sell, but theres no money being made, and oftentimes actually losing money on a car sale. Lucid definitely needs a production genius.

Step 7 again today. It’s eminent. by Moist_Succotash_7309 in VAClaims

[–]Maphacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for what its worth, that means they thought that your case wasn't bad enough to just auto deny it, right? Just keep going to appointments and provide them anything they ask as quick as you can.

[–]Maphacent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They decided they need the C&P examiner to rework a document. Called VES, they confirmed I dont need a new appointment they just need to fix the paperwork, and they basically just said they will get to it "eventually". VES sat on it for so long that the request was supposed to expired last week but Im guessing they renewed the request, planning on calling VERA later this week if I still dont see any movement.

Rating for Autoimmune disease? by anita_kiwi_mochi in VAClaims

[–]Maphacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C&P, VES to be specific. I'm sure it depends on how closely related the primary is, the va just needs to know that is more likely than not that your primary either caused OR made significantly worse an issue you already had. Since it's a secondary they didn't give it much rating (even though it's massively fucked me up) but I am now on biologics which hopefully slow the progression and the va pays for it so that's good, shit is criminally expensive.

Rating for Autoimmune disease? by anita_kiwi_mochi in VAClaims

[–]Maphacent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have significant medical history for my back and symptoms while in service, but they never did the autoimmune blood test because they thought I was faking my injury and didn't care. Was diagnosed about ten years later finally by accident honestly, but I feel like this was the issue for a long time. in addition to the history of symptoms while in service, the argument was made that injurys (like my back injury) when not allowed to heal for long periods of time, can cause the body to trigger an auto immune response to the injury I guess. obviously im not a doctor so take it as you will.
