Dr. Mehmet Oz is pitching a controversial fix for America's rural health care crisis: artificial intelligence.

"There's no question about it — whether you want it or not — the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars," Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said recently at an event focused on addiction and mental health hosted by Action for Progress, a coalition aimed at improving behavioral health care. He said AI could multiply the reach of doctors fivefold — or more — without burning them out.

The AI proposal is part of the Trump administration's $50 billion plan to modernize health care in rural communities. That includes deploying tools such as digital avatars to conduct basic medical interviews, robotic systems for remote diagnostics, and drones to deliver medication where pharmacies don't exist.

There is one endgame to EVERYTHING that MAGA is doing: Slavery.

They are going all in on AI/Robotics, and soon they are going to replace as many jobs as possible, creating a PERMANENT unemployment class of at least 40%, probably higher. Those who can't pay their bills, run up a lot of credit, or need any sort of government assistance like food and shelter, and unemployment payments (essentially UBI), etc. will be put in the same enormous ICE facilities they are building all over America, including a brand new 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo Bay that they are building from the ground up. Opening is scheduled for 2029, so MAGA clearly expects to be around to utilize it.

And what will they do with all those poor people? Improve their lives by giving them a good work ethic. They don't expect to get free money, that's immoral, and America is a MORAL nation. For your own good, and personal enrichment, you will be leased out as slave labor under the 13th Amendment in order to pay back your debt to the American taxpayer. BTW, your efforts will be taxed against your account, which grows every month.

You love the Constitution don't you? You think MAGA should abide by every word, don't you? Well they are abiding by every letter of the 13th Amendment. If you want to question that, maybe we should look at some other Amendments like the 14th, that prohibits Insurrectionists from holding office, AND allows Birthright Citizenship. They love the 13th, but they really hate the 14th. Not big lovers of the 4th either. Or any of them really. Not even the 2nd. That's their next Epstein Files. They'll use it to get elected, then take it away.

So if you love and defend the Constitution, you'll love and defend Slavery. And, of course, cheap slave labor will eventually take the last paid manual jobs that can't be done by AI/Robotics, and contribute to an even higher unemployment rate. We will quickly reach a point where there are more slaves than available jobs, so what do we do with useless, hungry, reproducing people who are draining precious profits from MAGA profits?

I think we all know the answer, especially when you know that Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has said that he wants to reduce the population from 335 million, to 100 million, about a 70% reduction. That psycho jerks off to Auschwitz photos, so you know what HIS plans are.

Arbeit Macht Frei!

They already are. Look, name one other president that said anything close to 'take their guns first, due process second' or outright said a citizens' murder by law enforcement was justified due to carrying a legal CCW with additional ammo?

Conservatives got played like a fucking fiddle, and they're happy about it because minorities are suffering. Their only regrets is they're getting hurt along with them.

The NRA even denouced him for the attempted on gun rights

And yet I doubt it will impact republican support by more than a precent or two at most
