if anything, it is a sad exposé of the state of affairs in the US.

instead of having freely available healthcare for all, the money is pooled through middlemen: influencers, tech giants, advertising companies.




Actually, most the people he helped were not US and majority of those in need are in countries without significant medical infrastructure.


you seem to be strangely supportive of this influencer, also having posted that video a couple of days ago. how come ? why are you so passionate about this ?


It’s fair question, though as noted in another comment, I neither think Jimmy’s prefect, nor do I think everything he does is something I would be supportive of.

As for why I posted prior link, I could tell it was both significant to his development and also thought it was inspiring. I would hope anyone would be able to relate to value of being able to see, or imagine how hard it would be to not be able to see.

As for being a fan, I would not go that far, but I for sure would not mind having him as a friend since we both happen to have a lot of shared interests and believe some of the things he’s personally been impacted by I am able to relate to.

Shared interest include: Youtube, craftsmanship, showmanship, research & analytics, business, mass communication, positive impact on world, making friends, helping peers learn, nonprofits, helping strangers, learning, etc.


it doesn't take passion to post your opinion in a web forum.


definitely not, but to reply to tens of comments over the span of hours with such devotion ?


I see, I tend to focus on a HN thread, especially one I posted. Easily see how that might come off as odd or less than desirable.


zero judgement, you do you :)

there is nothing less than desirable. just curious is all !
