Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • From what I’ve read (I’ve done a few hours of reading on this specific topic at this point[damn you curiosity]). No. They’ve done all of 2 things with Israel in basically a decade. 2 exercises in a decade isn’t really enough to say that there’s any meaningful relationship other than “we’re not enemies”.

    I could be wrong… But I do not get that intent at all from Cyprus, which aligns with their “surprise” at being yelled at from some other country about a country they barely interact with from a military perspective.

    I’m ex-military and have personally participated in more exercises with countries the USA was less friendly with politically.



  • As if they could overpopulate those countries.

    Past 4 years puts it at 8,280,550. Or nearly 2.5% of the US Population. And this number is “interactions” meaning there’s more coming across the border than that which goes undetected. Depending on where they specifically it’s entirely possible for them to overpopulate areas and place undue burdens on infrastructures and social safety nets.

    If waves of them hear that NYC is a great place to be and all head there, well now NYC has a burden of dealing with that cannot do things like pay into taxes legally (no SSN to report wages to). Depending on where you live, you very well could be observing “overpopulation”. Or at least it may feel like that (more demand for housing, resources, etc.)

    If they are allowed to stay, then they must adapt to each country’s lifestyle.

    I agree with this. While America and other countries are all “melting pots” of sorts. There’s a reason you migrated… If you’re not willing to adapt to where you’re going, then why did you leave where you came from?













  • Creating the demand still gets you partial credit.

    So why does nobody give Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, or any other EV manufacturer credit? Why does Tesla magically get all the credit from everyone when they didn’t really do all that much for quite a long time.

    Read it carefully… Realize that Tesla didn’t start this. As much as I’m not a fan of “china” BYD started literally the same time as Tesla, and BYD is eating Tesla for lunch this whole time.

    Tesla’s entire “credit” to the industry was marketing their shitty electric car to english markets. Which was literally inevitable. as they we’re being out competed for a long time by other manufacturers…

    The world’s top-selling all-electric cars in 2014 were the Nissan Leaf (61,507), Tesla Model S (31,655), BMW i3 (16,052), and the Renault Zoe (11,323).

    The other credit he deserves is for his raving lunatic filled fan-base.


    Regarding rocketry, if it were that easy we’d have done it long ago.

    He’s made no progress since what we’ve done long ago is my point. If you want to credit him with no progress and tons of ecological damage. Then fair game I’ll help you along. But to claim he’s done anything worthwhile at all here is absurd.

    Edit:

    The Tesla Model 3 surpassed the Nissan Leaf in early 2020 to become the world’s best selling electric car ever

    And Tesla wasn’t even the majority in electric cars on the road until VERY recently. Unlike what most people say.
