    Evidently trump is too stupid to understand that we have a free nation because of our military. What did trump do when the Viet Nam was on, he cried that he couldn’t serve because he had bone spurs. Funny while on active duty one of my friends had come into the military with only one leg. Pride for our country stands with all who desire to serve our great nation. While we celebrate our freedom let’s not forget those who served and died to keep us free. Yes we have veterans who desperately need the health care the VA offers. I joined the Navy Reserves at the age of 37 because I felt a personal need to give back to my country for the sacrifices of those who died to keep us free. Serving in the military was one of my greatest honors. Vote blue to keep us free, safe and respected by our allies. God bless all who are serving today. Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country.

    There's no way they will bring down the cost. They can't. They're too beholden to investors. And he thinks AI will partially replace radiologists? Keep dreaming Andrew Lacy. I also know for a fact you're not using AI to help the radiologists. I'm a radiologist myself and I worked for Prenuvo for a year. I stopped reading for them late 2023. The only AI tool Prenuvo was using was automated measurements for prostate size. That's it. Outside of that Prenuvo offers literally no AI tools whatsoever to help radiologists. This isn't the first time Andrew Lacy has lied about the Prenuvo narrative. Sorry to break it to y'all.

    You're attracted to difficult challanges? No you're attracted to MONEY. What a fraud! Andrew Lacy's ONLY qualification is that he got a scan once? He is NOT a doctor or a scientist and definitely not a radiologist. Btw, the company he worked with before Prenuvo was some sort of gaming app....Let that sink in a minute.

    There's people like me who will work for free if you just communicate with them there is people with great ideas out there and if we don't listen to the bass line then we become disconnected from it and then we start to lose our foundation which is holding the whole thing together!

    37:18 I totally agree with Andrew Yang because the entire consumer Market is drying up and the purchasing power of the people is getting diminished because all the high-paying jobs are being automated way and as we automate away jobs we're going to have less spending power in the consumer Market which means the corporations are going to start to fail as well because they rely on consumers to keep them going so if we don't have a Ubi based off the total automated production percentage of the GDP then everything starts to fall apart and you just need to talk about it just do it talk about it!

    If all we do is talk about giving a basic level ubi then we are not creating an actual accurate system that is bipartisan because the Republicans care about the economy and they are conservative so that's why basing the total Ubi off the total automated production percentage of the GDP and calculating how much tools have helped us increase our production percentage and how many humans it would take to reproduce that production percentage without those tools we can figure out how much Ubi we should be getting based off those productivity increases due to inventions and tools. We can slowly ramp up to the amount of Ubi we should be receiving we can change the natural born citizen status so we don't have to make a one world government in order to have this policy work because otherwise everyone would be coming to America for the Ubi and having kids who would be eligible for Ubi so we need to change the natural born citizen status so at least one parent has to be a citizen of the United States and they must be born in the United States in order to be considered a natural born citizen eligible for Ubi benefits without further Hoops to jump through. This puts up basically a financial money wall for the southern border crisis and values the citizens over the illegals who have broken the law to come to America and came across our borders illegally... this is bipartisan and pure logic plus it makes more of a Melting Pot of cultures instead of cultural isolation like we see today because illegals will need citizens for a successful family in America. This means they will speak better English.

    You know if you choose to support partisan arguments instead of logical arguments and all the information that I have given you basically handed to you on a silver platter and you never talk about these important aspects and all you talk about is partisan arguments and Bs then it's going to push people away even though it makes you get more views on social media platforms because you get more interaction and outrage at you ultimately this makes people unsubscribe from you. If you're not making your most powerful argument all the time then you're going to seem lukewarm partisan and weak. Take everyword ive said if you want! Do it word for word if you must but please align with logical bipartisanship of proposals and political stances i have prosopsed over and over again... Andrew Yang is making a huge mistake by not checking the feedback that is the comment section...

    I support the PROGRESSIST ALLIANCE among those political parties that are proud to give the right improvement to the outdone left-wing ideology, a confederation sanctioned and promoted by the "Democratic Party" (PD), the "Greens and Left Alliance" (AVS), the "Five Star Movement" (M5S), and with the addition of some others that are coming together to form a strong team that has as of now chosen to be a WINNING GOVERNMENT UNION, the one implementing the best alternative to the present far-right parties and right-centered ones. This coalition aims to tackle and effectively quench destitution as its primary point is to help each family unit suffering because of low income or a harsh lack of money, case in point, the working poor, unemployed, handicapped, victims of violence, children and students in poverty, pregnant women in trouble, homeless fellows, older adults with a minimum pension, as well as artisans, dealers, and self-employed in taxing pain. The above purpose will be achieved by putting SOCIAL EQUALITY and HUMAN RIGHTS into action, likewise spreading and concretizing the UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME concept. It sounds like a victory to me!

    prevention is definitely better than post care.. especially because there are no cures for major diseases, and it all boils down to long term disease management. It can get pretty expensive for people with chronic diseases. When it comes to AI, biology is far from perfect and AI might just multiply those errors many times. I likely would not trust AI to give me a final answer on any diagnostic test, essentially I would have to rely on my own judgement if the results don't match with patient signs and symptoms. I do think AI has some place in the future though, with proper research and testing, just like any other treatment or test...very promising..

I can dream.
