It's mostly true in the sense that they did pass such a bill but the logic wasn't purely based on the chemtrails conspiracy.
Photos, vids, etc ....

Lookit:
This means enough "Tennessee Republicans" in the State legislature supported it, to pass it.
Whether its supporters swilled the kool-aid, or whether they merely consented to appease the MAGA madness, who knows?
BUT !
These dipsticks are out of their cotton-pickin' minds.
Also note, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee * depicted in 1,159 signing with a Sharpie, evidently isn't as sharp as the felt-tip he's using.
* They call him Governor Billy for short, but hopefully not for long.

RE #395 & #397 - I'd be surprised if the various AI medical algorithms are subject to the same sort of confidentiality laws that apply to flesh and blood physicians
BY MILES KLEE
Artificial intelligence tech has infiltrated every industry, and health care is no exception. We now have Together by Renee, an app that tracks your medical history, aims to gauge your blood pressure with a selfie, and detect depression or anxiety symptoms by the sound of your voice. DrugGPT, developed at Oxford University, is a tool designed to help doctors prescribe medications and keep patients informed about what they’re taking. You can download Humanity, a generative AI “health coach” that promises to “reduce biological age,” and Google is working on a machine-learning model that will potentially diagnose a patient based on the sound of their cough.
But the potential consequences of these applications are somewhat different than what may happen when you use AI to create a song. To put it in the starkest terms: lives are at risk. And experts in the fields of health and technology tell Rolling Stone they have real doubts about .....

‘Hype and Magical Thinking’: The AI Healthcare Boom Is Here
Big Tech is rushing out apps to help diagnose illness, prescribe drugs, and track your medical history — but can an algorithm replace your doctor?BY MILES KLEE

Is there rational justification to argue our health status is any less "privileged" than the same information would be within "doctor : patient" privilege?
b) You're right. We may presume such innovation would merely be regarded as the next increment in technology's encroachment in our "civilized" lives, confident that the enumerated Constitutional Bill of Rights that apply with a human doctor would apply otherwise.
c) Sorites Paradox: where do we draw the line?
- If the doctor is 100% human, that's protected.
- If wearing eyeglasses, still protected.
- A prosthetic limb or two? Still protected.
- A nurse-practitioner, not an MD at all.
It may be called "doctor : patient" privilege. It already goes beyond that.
At what point does it become unprotected? If the prostheses weigh more than the rest of the guy?
< >
Not to cloud the issue, remember IBM's Watson, the mainframe that busted Jeopardy champion turned host Ken Jennings?
You're an insider on more than numbers (despite "RE #395 & #397 -"), also healthcare administration. I'm more or less a DIY, the VA takes care of most of the rest.
You distinguish between the AI algorithm, and ... ? The patient's personal details?

Any idea S2, what the $money interests are, or will become? Any other "special interest" waiting in the wings?
Another sharp point S2.

You could probably argue that if an actual human doctor is using some sort of AI algorithm as part of his practice accessing the info there is no different than browsing thru his patient files.
However, if you use the app on your own I can't see how that can be subject to the same legal protections.

I don't know the stare decisis history of "doctor : patient".
I suspect it may eventually trace back to:
$Cash is not obsolete. But I rarely handle it anymore. Plastic is my main medium of exchange, both brick-&-mortar, and e-tail. BUT !!
Plastic leaves a trail which government inevitably has access to.
Thus government has access in the 21st century to insight in citizen buying habits government had no such access to in the 18th or 19th centuries.
If government obtains information about a citizen's having / using such "app", shouldn't such information be inadmissible as evidence?

I was thinking more in terms of the HIPAA act
www.cdc.gov
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) | CDC
HIPAA is a federal law that requires the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed.

There must be a reason this is needed ....
My initial reaction was relief. BUT:
Before that, what?
And,
is HIPAA working?
Will it continue to do so, under Dobbs?
You read me like a dime novel S2.
Psychologist Joy Browne says never try to reason with a drunk or a fool.
So Florida posts this message within view of drivers, presumably rapists are sober in the car?
Such campaign isn't 100% effective / persuasive.
So how effective do those that post the message expect it to be? 50%? 4%? What % of daughters will be spared because of this billboard?
And of what % of Florida's total dad population is that?
So the two questions that emerge:
- How effective is the billboard? and
- Pun not intended, $bang for the buck? Meaning, total billboard project $cost divided by the number of daughters saved. = cost per save
And while I mean daughters no ill-will, are there any sons in Florida that are also at risk? Sons too small a minority to perdiddle about? But daughters are?
I followed the link: https://wtfflorida.com/
?
BTW
Should we look down on Florida for taking this action? Or looking down on New York for not doing so?

Python rocks.
Trump is if nothing else media s a v v y .
Please note the above quotation from CTN ends in "?".
Another perhaps more plausible explanation is merely that:
a) Trump has an insatiable craving for the limelight.
b) Trump has read the writing on the walls, and realizes by November Biden will likely have obtained a viable electoral lead. Thus
c) Trump likes the attention, but not enough to take a public shower for it. So Trump is instead preparing to take a bath in November.
The clincher of course is the fashion ensemble Tailor is seen adorning in the downpour isn't available in Trump's size, thank god!

I saw a soundbite of Johnson on this point. His first sentence or two seemed quite Trump-like to me.
First Johnson criticized, then in his alternate hypothetical Johnson described his own success. Seemed like nonsense until Johnson completed the paragraph.
If it was up to me I'd call in the national guard if I had to ... .
It may seem a severe character flaw in me. It does to me. But I'm starting to like this guy.

Just try and tell me trump wasn't chosen by god to be our president after you listen to this clip.
Trump has been leading in the polls for most of the 2024 race, some supporters even perhaps befreckled young boobs.
