These are the people Donald thinks are defective! Thank goodness that we have technology to assist her with her struggle! We need to assist everyone that has an issue that is difficult for them. We need protections to protect individuals who are going through issues! Not discard them! Lift them all up! Lift us all up! We won’t go back!

Ok at first i thought this should be banned. But i was unaware of her condition.. This is one of the few instance where the technology is being used in a very helpful manner. Not just to be lazy. Good story.

Wonderful use of the technology, but, also a scary vision of the technology.

Ai voice lacks the love & compassion

[sybergato]

Doubt that. Buydem probably used it throughout his term.

[Kneumann]

Do you truly feel this is okay? Or am I the only one on the fence about this?

You lying everything.. God Israel angry your law

Maybe her speech can be healed with the treatments described in the book BRAIN ENERGY by Dr Christopher Palmer
