Good morning,

It’s Thursday, and a couple of political opposites agree that today should be the last day of the work week.

• Bernie Sanders wrote an op-ed saying that Americans are working more hours and feeling the burn(out). Instead, he’s pushing for a 32-hour work week with the same pay— and even introduced legislation to do so.

  • Sanders points to some European countries that are already testing 4-day work weeks.

• Steve Cohen, the billionaire owner of the New York Mets who gave $1 million to Trump's inauguration, also thinks it’s coming.

  • He’s pointing to the rise of AI and generally low productivity on Fridays. He even backed a golf business, thinking people will have more leisure time.

Cheers to an early weekend and happy Friday Eve!

🇺🇸 CLINTON TELLS VOTERS TO STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT 2024 REMATCH

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told voters to “get over yourself” when asked about Americans who are upset about a rematch between former President Trump, 78, and President Biden, 81. While on “The Tonight Show” Monday night, she claimed the differences between the candidates are clear:

• “It’s kind of like, one is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart, and really cares about people — and one is old and has been charged with 91 felonies.”

HILLARY TO THE PEOPLE
ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith responded to the former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, quipping, "How did that work out for her in 2016?”

• He added: "I don’t think it was a very wise statement on her part,” because “the last thing you need to do is to do anything that could agitate a potential voter in this particular election."

• According to a new poll, Trump currently leads Biden nationally, and holds leads in six of the seven swing states.

WHO ELSE IS RUNNING?
Clinton said Biden and Trump “are the two choices.” However, several third party candidates think this is their year to make an impact. As many as 1 in 5 voters appear open to casting a third-party ballot. Here are where other candidates and parties stand, as they try to get on all 50 state ballots (every state has different rules).

STATE OF PLAY
So, where is everyone else? There are a few established third parties, like the Libertarian Party, No Labels, and the Green Party— none have announced a candidate for November. 44 of the 50 states have at least one third-party or independent candidate on the ballot.

• RFK Jr. — the most well-known and popular of the third-party pack — is polling at around 10% of voters nationally and has raised nearly $28 million since his campaign began. His challenge: getting on state ballots as Democrats plan to fight him in the courts.

• Jill Stein is likely going to be the Green Party’s choice for 2024, and has so far has raised $498,000. She has been the party’s candidate two times before, and got 1% of the popular vote in 2016 (which some have said was enough to spoil the race for Hillary Clinton).

🔬 FDA GREEN LIGHTS FIRST-EVER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL TO DETECT SEPSIS

The FDA has approved the first AI-driven diagnostic tool to detect sepsis — a complex and hard to detect condition that kills over 350,000 people in the US a year.

SEPSIS IN THE US
Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection — a person’s immune system tries to fight an infection and ends up attacking the body’s own organs. Of the people who die in US hospitals every year, 1/3 have sepsis.

• Prenosis, a health technology company, uses AI to evaluate multiple factors — like heart rate, body temperature, and cell counts — to produce a Sepsis ImmunoScore.

  • To build the test, the company amassed a dataset of over 100,000 blood samples from 25,000 patients. Then, the algorithm was trained to flag health measures most associated with developing sepsis.

• The technology scores a patient’s risk of sepsis, from low to very high, in four categories. And medical professionals see the results on electronic health records.

USING AI FOR HEALTHCARE
While Prenosis is the first to get FDA approval, other companies have AI-driven sepsis prediction tools.

• A Johns Hopkins University AI tool aims to catch sepsis symptoms more quickly, and a 2022 study found that, in severe cases, it detected the condition six hours earlier than traditional methods.

• Hundreds of hospitals across the nation already have Epic Systems’ AI-powered sepsis predictor, despite researchers finding the model “poorly predicts sepsis” in a 2021 article.

💰 HOW MUCH DO WE NEED TO RETIRE?!

Americans now believe it would take $1.46 million to retire comfortably — up from $1.27 million a year ago. It’s 53% higher than 2020, according to a new Northwestern Mutual survey. The trend points to growing anxiety from many Americans that they won’t ever have enough to retire.

WHAT’S THE WORRY
According to the Federal Reserve, the average American has saved $333,940 in 2022, up from $282,100 in 2016. And Americans 65-74, on average that same year, have retirement savings of about $609,000. But younger workers are concerned that Social Security won’t be around for them in a couple decades.

• By 2034, the program is expected to run out of money, which would lead to the reduction in people’s benefits — that is, unless Congress acts.

A number of factors contribute to when a person can retire: income, marital status, expected longevity, location, and if you want to leave an inheritance.

• What the 🧮 says: Fidelity Investments advises saving 10x your annual salary by age 67.

• How you get there? Start saving about 15% a year starting at age 25, including any contribution your employer makes to a 401(k)-type account.

  • BUT, that accounts for Social Security providing the rest.

  • Vanguard estimates that Social Security will cover about 60% of elder millennials, around 37 to 41, while savings will cover the rest of their retirement.

  • Good news: Younger workers are starting to save earlier. Gen Zers report starting to save for the golden years at age 22, compared with 27 for millennials. Baby boomers started at an average age of 37, the survey said.
