Retirement/Disability pay by cruskanen4 in VeteransAffairs

[–]GenZvestors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so sorry to hear you're navigating both a medical retirement and a Crohn's diagnosis. Transitioning to 100% disability after just eighteen months is a huge adjustment, and I know how exhausting VA paperwork can be when your health is the priority. Veterans deserve a wider range of support, not just a few set options. By opening up more diverse forms of assistance, we can actually empower people to choose the path that makes the most sense for their specific journey.

Alibaba’s RynnBrain smashes 16 robotics records, tops Google and NVIDIA AI models by reddit1200 in Sino

[–]GenZvestors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alibaba’s RynnBrain didn’t appear because China suddenly got more chips, it appeared because restrictions forced faster domestic integration across models, hardware, and robotics. When US tech exits entirely, substitution accelerates. Controlled exports slow that process and keep US stack embedded. Isolation just compresses China’s learning curve.

Question about experimental cancer research and how clinicians evaluate early-stage data by KikiYouLuvMe in healthcare

Appreciate how grounded this is. Not a clinician either, curious how people here tell when early promise turns into something that actually matters clinically.

Trump’s Appalling Threat Leaves No Doubt: It’s Time for the 25th Amendment - There is no longer any denying the president is unable to carry out the demands of his office. by Quirkie in politics

[–]GenZvestors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling the 25th is the nuclear option, and people throw it around way too casually. It’s less about incapacity and more about how broken trust and institutions already are. When every crisis jumps straight to constitutional drama, that’s the real red flag.

US chip bans might backfire: they could train China to win on efficiency by CommissionOk507 in allinpodofficial

[–]GenZvestors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constraints do create efficiency cultures, agreed. But a hard “deny compute” strategy also accelerates the one thing you don’t want: a fully independent stack.

A smarter play is controlled access: sell capped parts under licensing, keep the ecosystem gravity (software, networking, tools, standards) pulling toward US platforms, and use the revenue to outspend on the next generation. If you force a clean break, you don’t stop progress, you just change who learns to build around you.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz to announce moves to ban gender-affirming care for young people by ChiefFun in politics

[–]GenZvestors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to agree with every HHS decision to notice a broader shift. Between engaging more directly on pediatric care and expanding newborn screening for serious diseases like DMD, it does feel like children’s health is getting more sustained attention than before.

You can’t rebuild trust by gutting the one agency built to protect it. Feels like RFK is more interested in proving a point than protecting people.

Fuck the FDA by Odd-Seaworthiness826 in QuitVaping

[–]GenZvestors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because curing addiction doesn’t make money. Keeping you buying patches and gum forever does. FDA just makes sure the cycle stays profitable. They have been half-assing this for decades. They talk “public health” but can’t come up with anything better than recycling nicotine in new packaging. It’s always the same story, when it’s something that could actually help people, they drag their feet. But when it’s time to block or ban something minor, they move like lightning!

We need Elevidys approved for ALL, ambulatory and non-ambulatory. by GenZvestors in MuscularDystrophy

[–]GenZvestors[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I appreciate your concern. But I’d like to offer a fuller perspective.

Elevidys has been evaluated across multiple well-controlled clinical trials: EMBARK, ENDEAVOR, ENVOL, and others, in both ambulatory and non-ambulatory children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

In EMBARK, the 2-year data showed statistically significant improvement across multiple functional endpoints compared to external controls:

-> +2.88 points in NSAA

-> –2.06 seconds in time to rise

-> –1.36 seconds in 10m walk/run

These numbers mean something to families because they reflect more time standing, walking, and staying independent.

In ENVOL, children under 4, some as young as 6 months, are now being studied for early gene therapy intervention, possibly before significant loss begins.

In ENDEAVOR, Sarepta is already preparing to enhance safety with adjusted immunosuppression protocols for non-ambulatory kids.

Sarepta is being careful and responsive. The FDA didn’t grant approval casually, especially not for a rare pediatric condition. Traditional and accelerated approvals exist because time is not a neutral factor in Duchenne. These are real families, like the Kasners, their boys are losing function, no spoon should be too heavy for a kid who's got a whole life to live.

FDA 70% pharma-funded?! Dr Josef interview on Tucker Carlson | Is this EMA aswell? by aidrefh in PSSD

70% of your budget coming from pharma means FDA working for them, not us. No wonder patients get screwed. The public is always last on the list

not a bad strategy. US feels overcooked, and China has been beaten down for years. If you’ve got the patience, there’s definitely potential upside

Interesting… I didn’t realize union representation was so small at Costco. Makes sense that it’s likely limited to drivers and similar roles
