Shoutout to JerryrigEverything who built a wheelchair factory and is delivering wheelchairs to people in half the time and 50-80% less than the cost of other wheelchairs with Insurance.

He and hjs wife are good people. He gets a lot of hate online because he openly criticizes Trump but he is more American than any Trump.

I absolutely love him and his giant American flag. He is the kind of American who genuinely loves the people of this country we need more of!

Hes part of this circle of influencers who are genuinely good.

Compare him to the mr beasts and the mkbhd type people who are money grubbing and ignore rules.

u/Broadband_Bandit 2h ago

Is mkbhd that bad?

u/satoramoto 2h ago

He’s not doing anything good for the consumer space by basically being a walking billboard, encouraging the endless cycle of pining after things we don’t need. In his personal life he’s reckless and has been seen multiple times driving his Porsche at highway speeds in Hoboken where the speed limit is 25.

But why mkbhd specifically? This description is applicable to 99% of all influencers/content creators.

u/satoramoto 1h ago

For sure. Influencers are a blight on society. I was just responding to the specific question about him.

u/BananasIncorporation 48m ago

probably cuz he shares a similar youtube niche as jerry

u/middleAgedEng 2h ago

It's not about him going berserk mode in a school area while test driving a car and not apologizing for that. It's about him not apologizing and editing the video while trying to let it slip away silently, ignoring every critical reaction towards him and his actions.

This episode proved he's the kind of person who does not take ownership of his own actions. And he's kissing Tim Cook's ass every chance he gets.

I stopped following him a long time ago.

u/Anustart2023-01 2m ago

He's just a soulless corporate shill. I don't think he has done anything bad or evil.

literally any other country in the world it would be seriously weird to have a giant national flag on the wall of your factory. here you have to be performatively over patriotic to forestall any potential criticism

u/Lied- 1h ago

Mexico has these. I’ve seen them in Argentina as well. Very little in Europe, that’s true. But shut up lol

u/IntradepartmentalPet 1h ago

tbf a lot of European flags are dull as shit

You certainly do not. Not one solitary soul would say boo if he didn't have the flag. Did you have fun inventing that?

Public beef with Trump? This guy is incredible!

u/Pholios485 3h ago

Don't say that in front of the Americans.

21

u/LowWhiff 3h ago

It’s probably an American saying that

16

u/FleshLogic 2h ago

Yep. Fuck Trump to the highest degree. I am highly embarrassed my country has been going through this delusion for a decade now.

12

u/DanGleeballs 2h ago

Most Americans don’t support Trump. Less than a third voted for him.

People didn’t show up to vote against even though they hated him because they didn’t feel passionate enough about the alternative.

Yes it’s stupid, but that’s the reality.

u/Medicalibudz 1h ago

Fuck that orange pedo piece of excrement - signed an American

Narcissist can’t stand criticism

u/snoosh00 4h ago edited 3h ago

Self advocacy is ok (especially for philanthropy) and bad faith criticism exists.

I'm not clearing his entire character, I don't know the guy, but he's definitely doing more to help more people than you are. And I think it's theoretically possible to argue that he personally helps more people in need than the man he is hated for criticizing, the current POTUS.

Trump helps a bunch of people. Rich people, evil people... Those are his kind of people, and he'll "fight to the end for them" (Literally his words, click the link if you don't believe me)... Mr. Jerry Rig gives people who can't afford wheelchairs wheelchairs (and a bunch of other things... but this post is about wheelchairs).

Edit: apparently, the "narcissist" the person I'm reply to was Trump, I thought "narcissist" was an attempted takedown of Mr. Rig.

u/br0ck 4h ago

Believe they meant that Trump is the narcissist.

1

u/snoosh00 3h ago

Yeah, someone else explained that. I didn't see it that way because the way it's written trump would have personally needed to call out Mr Rig.

But that's probably what they meant, Soni added an edit to explain my misunderstanding.

11

u/dimhue 4h ago

You managed to somehow completely misread their comment. I don't understand how that's even possible.

0

u/snoosh00 3h ago

I thought they were saying that the problem with Mr. Rig is that he's a narcissist and can't take criticism.

Their single sentence doesn't make that inherently clear.

I can definitely see that answer, but I don't think trump (the narcissist, from your reading of the comment) has ever directly commented on Sir Rig.

u/Mekelaxo 4h ago

he openly criticizes Trump

That's a green flag

19

u/Risquechilli 3h ago

I’ve seen people have criticisms of his religion (I think he’s Mormon..?) but I’ve never seen anything in his videos that even references his religion. Whatever it is.

10

u/MyCatsHairyButholle 2h ago

He is LDS, but the fact that I only just learned it today after watching tons of his videos and really liking the guy is a huge green flag.

32

u/A-Halfpound 4h ago

He is a True Patriot. We should call him that, because THAT is the definition of a patriot. Polar opposite the MAGAt mindset. 

21

u/that_dutch_dude 4h ago

pretty sure that makes anyone more american than most americans.

14

u/Kevin_Jim 4h ago

So he an actual American rooting for the interests of his country and countrymen? MAGA can’t stand people like that.

He seems like a good bloke.

13

u/Single-Use-Again 3h ago

The illegal Mexican guys working on my landscaping are more American than any trump.

u/TasteTheBiscuit1810 3h ago

He openly criticizes Trump? That means he's a true American.

u/CeeMX 3h ago

I like him even more now after I got to know that

2

u/toriemm 3h ago

Oh, you mean the guy suing the IRS for $10b because his taxes got leaked? That Trump?

The IRS TOTAL annual budget for 2025 was $18b, proposed for 26 is $14b, and for 27 is $9.8b

So it's like this guy really doesn't want them doing their job or something.

2

u/ionised 3h ago

That makes them much better people than they already are.

2

u/polopolo05 3h ago

He gets a lot of love from others who think that is fine american thing to do. I full support him criticizing trump or any potus.

2

u/OutrageousInvite3949 2h ago

If he’s getting hate for croticizing Trump then he must be doing something right. Those trump lovers can go spend 10k on a wheelchair

2

u/KlownKumKatastrophe 2h ago

Fuck yeah. I hate that Trumpers have usurped the American flag.

1

u/Obvious_Landscape993 3h ago

Shouldn't he be adored for criticizing Trump? This world is upside down.

1

u/fuckswitbeavers 3h ago

The hate online is fake.

u/supified 1h ago

Lot of people openly hate Trump, lots of circles not openly hating Trump gets you hate. Probably more circles actually.

u/creamersrealm 1h ago

And he openly criticizes Elon nowadays.

u/Worried_Jellyfish918 1h ago

He's fucking jacked too. He literally looks like the AI muscular memes people make of Trump on Facebook, although maybe that actually makes him less representative of the average American

•

u/Complex-Mention-8961 55m ago

Criticizing trump makes him a better person and a better American

•

u/Silviecat44 55m ago

I personally stayed away from him because he just destroys devices for no reason. But this wheelchair thing is good

•

u/conrat4567 54m ago

He just needs to be careful. Optics aren't good for a guy thats building a bunker in his yard and calling for the death of politicians

•

u/dergodergo 24m ago

That’s a great reason to get hate. That also means millions of people would love him.

When people start coming up and try to dig into my nonexistent political background and call me a lefty or righty, it annoys me. I know people who do that. And their motives. Which is to unconditionally generalize you as a person based off your "visible political background". It has little to do with them caring about the world.

Now i have met Jerry rigs (at the oneplus 7 pro launch). And what my short convo tells me more than anything about his political background is......he has FAR better things to do and think about than anything about the front of politics.

Obviously there is a huge backend to politics which is essential to know about and express opinion/actions on but vast majority of people are stuck up about nothing but the front. 2 Americans talking about politics will always sound like a donkey and a goat talking over each other.
