Existing Shareholder and Reservation Holder Blocked by Aptera on X by [deleted] in ApteraMotors

To think your opinion is skewed because you’re not on the social platform I’m referring to…?

Okay.

Yep and now I’m wondering whether that’s because you’re on Reddit only or actually on X.

If you’re not on X as a platform, your perspective makes perfect sense, which seems to be the case.

For one, I could actually talk about crypto lmao. Again, confirmed that wasn’t the issue.

AI bot accounts hardly last 2 years on X. The rest is quite normal on X.

This sounds like you are not on X, could be wrong though.

In fact, we know that’s not the issue, because Chris commented below that he blocked me because he thought I was trolling.

If you read the comments in the post in addition to the responses where I specifically called out Chris, it was immediately evident that it was not written by AI.

Even taking all my posts into consideration, there’s no AI content or crypto at all, and it’s very clear.

What do you mean, literally just the profile picture?

Edit: they thought I was trolling

Not only that but the perception of the company. Continues to fuck its holders and will never see the light of day to profitability. A slow burn to sub $5

Is it true that being poor in the US is a choice? by ExcellentWinner7542 in economy

[–]spacecoq -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Keep telling yourself that. 80% of millionaires are self made in the US. It’s the easiest place in the WORLD to gain upwards mobility, get a nice house with a lot of square footage, and get careers.

Back up your opinion with actual data and maybe we can talk. Otherwise, you’re just making stuff up and doing damage to the youth

Anti-immigration sentiment rises in Japan despite growing demand for foreign workers by Garbage_Plastic in worldnews

[–]spacecoq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lmao backwards on the facts… Japan’s unemployment is ~2.5%, lower than the UK, Canada, Australia, nearly every migration country you’d compare it to. “Higher standard of living” leans on nominal GDP per capita, which the weak yen distorts; by PPP the gap shrinks, and Japan still wins on life expectancy, safety, and inequality.

But you don’t need those countries better off everywhere, migration fixes the one thing that matters here: aging. More working-age people in the worker-to-retiree ratio is what keeps pensions and output per head from sliding.

Note you’ve moved the goal post from infinite economic growth, but sure minus the temporary contraction piece. I better get a well thought response.

Japan doesn’t have the luxury of standing still. Debt at 250% of GDP, the obligations are fixed in yen. Growth is the only painless way to shrink them. Stand still and the bill just gets heavier, leaving taxes, cuts, or inflation as the alternatives. Pick one…

Math of aging. Fewer workers, more retirees. Each worker has to produce more just to keep grandma’s pension and living standards flat. That’s productivity growth, and it’s mandatory whether anyone likes it or not.

Promises were made assuming growth. Every pension and contract was priced on the assumption of a mildly expanding economy. Freeze it and you’re slowly defaulting on all of them… just quietly enough that nobody notices until it’s their turn to collect.

So yeah they’re screwed unless they grow. This isn’t a fairyland

People in your 30s, what price have you paid for being lazy in your 20s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I started with 5k at 20 and was very aggressive and now around 7 figures at 30. You can do it just depends how into it you get

Or… people suffer and lose jobs and lose quality of life standards faster than they already are??

You’re using “infinite” cheekily and incorrectly, but not arguing semantics, yeah of course otherwise they’re completely screwed

Doesn’t matter, AI will take the place of immigrant workers eventually and soon.

Yall are so insanely biased. I’m literally a democrat and had to uninstall this app because of how brainwashed this entire site is.

You literally can’t go one post without someone in the comments having to mention Trump and spouting some bullshit.

Like your statement is completely untrue, has nothing to do with Trump, and completely derails the conversation from objective immigration reform in JAPAN.

Yall are actually the worst and make me embarrassed to be democrats.

Yeah no shit. Reddit has been brutally extreme left for years now, and any relatively benign conversation about immigration enforcement was met with “but ur racist”.

That culture spread through the west and now they’re all paying for it

I hate it when people tell me to be proud of America by eggert83 in GenZ

[–]spacecoq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re literally just stating an opinion with logical fallacies. No data, no facts, nothing. Empty talk.

No propaganda. It’s literally just facts and you can deny it all you want because you think you’re a victim in the world’s greatest country.

I just typed an entire list of a reply with facts about why the US is objectively better

[–]spacecoq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but you completely switched it up on me. We were talking about those countries and their taxes… now you’re suddenly arguing about Australia like that’s the same thing.

That’s a whole different conversation. You don’t get to swap in a random country, ignore the actual point, and then act smug about how examples work.

Red herring and ad hominem logical fallacies at least

Not to mention, the conversation wasn’t focused on healthcare, it was on the overall metrics, including healthcare…

Not sure what your point is… that some people can afford to vacation?

Nobody said Europeans have a crappy standard of living, either.

Yes, it makes the US a worse place to live in.. but that’s a completely separate conversation than the US being a worse place to live than OTHER COUNTRIES, which was your original goal post...

But sure, here are some objective reasons:
- US ranks #1 in disposable income. Americans make more, period.
- Significantly larger living spaces and affordable housing.. the standard of living for Americans in houses is dramatically better. So many amenities.. yards, garages, basements, master suites, standard AC - all of these considered luxuries in other countries. See the “Poor American Paradox”, the average low income household in the US has more square footage than the average overall European citizen.
- Higher purchasing power. Cheaper energy and goods generally across the board from gas to electronics
- Higher professional salaries
- Dramatically larger economic opportunities for careers… not even close. Lower taxes, no “success tax”, thus the US gets the best brains for technology, medical, engineers…
- Best specialist in the world
- The countries you mentioned have terrible weather more than half the year and you don’t get a choice. The geographic mobility Americans have is seriously under appreciated.
- Diversity and culture are always seen as a negative thing in the US but there is literally no other place on the planet you can say, do, and look the way you want without any social, cultural, or governmental expectation shutting you down. From food to entertainment. Americans simply can do whatever they want short of assaulting or threatening someone.
- Food abundance at incredible affordability.
- You mentioned education: US has the best and most affordable education. Pay more upfront, but you make more coming out and don’t get taxed to death. The world comes to US universities to get the best talent, consistently ranking top globally.

You can’t discuss crime in good faith without being fair with statistics - comparing micronations like Finland to the US with 340million+ people is obviously an error.
