The United States spends nearly 1/3 of the federal budget on healthcare. It is by far our biggest national expense, 2x defense and 100x what goes to border security. $800B buys us a world-beating military. But $1.5T on healthcare buys us a country that is overweight, dying…
Excited to finally announce @8vc's investment in @BedrockRobotics! Construction underpins the rebuilding of America, and we believe Bedrock's autonomy solution is the cornerstone of making it more efficient. @bsofman, @kevinmpeterson1 & team are the ones to do it. Let's build!
Today, @BedrockRobotics emerges from stealth with $80M in funding led by @eclipseventures and @8VC to bring fully autonomous systems to the construction industry. Read more from our CEO @bsofman on the company vision and where we’re headed: bit.ly/4kCAT2x Now, more…

On this July 4th, let's celebrate some American heroes: Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. On January 1, 1863, following the Emancipation Proclamation, President Lincoln authorized the recruitment of African American soldiers for the Union Army. (1/5)

Medicare alone is a bigger budget than all of defense. We literally spend more on insulin and glucose monitors for seniors each year than we do on munitions.
People tend to overestimate how much is spent on defense relative to entitlements
