Jones Manoel stated that a technical note prepared by the Institute of Functional Finances for Development (IFFD) estimated the fiscal and social impacts of the adjustment measures announced by Flávio Bolsonaro's economic team. The projections for the next 10 and 20 years indicated a cumulative reduction of R$ 11 trillion, by 2046 and at today's prices, in spending on health, education, retirement, and BPC, compared to the current rules. Regarding the SUS, Manoel stated that, based on parameters from international scientific literature on the relationship between public spending on health and mortality, the study estimated 742,000 additional deaths that could be avoided in twenty years. According to him, the number could reach 1.14 million in the scenarios with the greatest impact. Manoel also said that, even with the measures, the announced adjustment target of 2% of GDP would not be achieved by 2034. He shared the note to receive criticism and contributions to the debate. https://t.co/iToXaFiANs #Finanças #Saúde #Economia (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that, as of July 31, seven million people had risen out of poverty and extreme poverty. He attributed the result to the citizen income for mothers with children under six years old, the pension bonus above the individual extreme poverty threshold, and the increase of the minimum wage to the vital minimum. He also maintained that during his government, infant mortality due to malnutrition collapsed and hunger was substantially reduced. Petro mentioned that in Colombia there were those who rejected those helping low-income individuals and referred to a phrase from Lula about the rejection of anyone offering a plate of hot soup. Additionally, he accused the press, which he described as belonging to the wealthy, of trying to portray him as a thief of public resources or a drug trafficker. He stated that, unable to do so, his critics had accused the mother of his daughters on magazine covers without evidence. Finally, he argued that Ecopetrol, the SAE, the ANT, and the Presidency were being handed over to defenders of drug trafficking who, according to him, raised their voices against drug traffickers to hide their own businesses. #Pobreza #Colombia #SalarioMínimo (translated)

"En el cribado del cáncer de mama, las mamografías reducen la mortalidad en torno a un 30% y 40 % entre las mujeres que se someten a estas pruebas. La detección precoz es fundamental. Aquí es donde puede intervenir la IA. La mamografía asistida por IA puede identificar más casos de cáncer y en una fase más temprana durante el cribado. Y, como resultado, más mujeres pueden sobrevivir. Por lo tanto, necesitamos la IA para la salud. Pero, una vez más, debemos hacerlo al estilo europeo. ¿Quiero que mi médico tenga acceso instantáneo, mediante IA, a todos los datos necesarios para tomar la mejor decisión diagnóstica o terapéutica? Sí, por supuesto. Pero, ¿quiero que mi médico sea un robot asistido por IA? No, por supuesto que no. No quiero que un robot me diga si tengo cáncer o no" #InteligenciaArtificial #Superinteligencia #Diplomacia
