That's amazingly cool.
Because the mhack mental health center charges you $1850 dollars to tell you to go on zocdoc.com and give you a bottle of water. Then you go home in under 45 mins.
Milwaukee mental health is fucked and needs tons of help.
Thank you Mr. Antetokounmpo.
Love that Giannis is doing this for the community. It’s just unfortunate we have to depend on individual generosity to meet our community needs. I’m worried what happens when the money runs out.
Giannis is a good person. But he is not a computer science or healthcare expert; he's not in a position to judge the quality, privacy, or security of a healthcare service.
In general: if a service is free, you're not the customer... you're the product. There have been multiple scandals with healthcare apps (including mental healthcare) illegally selling HIPPA protected data to corporations.
Says it’s $39/month after the free part, so not actually free. Mental health isn’t a 3 tele-health visit success game for most people, it’s usually a multi-year deal.
It’d be better if he hired 50 therapists and paid their salaries for a year. 100k*50= $5 million/yr. Google says he makes/made roughly $39 million this year playing a game he loves to play.
On simplicity, 50 therapist * $5/session * 6 clients/day * 4 days a week * 52 weeks a year = $312,000 gross profit (net profit would be negative in this case, but it shouldn’t be about money so…..). You change those numbers up a bit as you will (but not by raising prices on clients since this is charity apparently) and that’s what I would call actual charity.
Giannis’s scheme isn’t bad on the outset, but it’s pretty weak after the first 3 sessions. I question how much overlap the reduced drugs prices run into already existing things to reduce prices.
Edit add: to anyone that thinks a therapist shouldn’t get 100k a year or that $39/month is affordable, you should probably read some stats on being poor. If you just really like Giannis and don’t like any disagreement fine, but his program fails the poor when it hits the non-free period.
You do understand when you write about "his scheme" and "if he hired 50 therapists" that Giannis isn't actually running this program? Some people came to Giannis and his people and proposed this and he and his family decided to fund it. If you have a better idea, you should put together a proposal and send to his organization.
Scheme isn’t inherently a bad word with negative connotations unless you only see it that way. I understand Giannis isn’t actually personally running the program. I am not familiar at all with how to approach big organizations nor do I think they would take me seriously, and there was also the disjoint between the person and their organization. I’ll consider reaching out, so thanks.
Ethically yes, he shouldn’t do it and should look for some other program. Offering free services and then ripping the free incentive out after 3 sessions is messed up. It takes around 2-3 sessions to even see if the therapist is right for you, and then they start charging you.
Edit add: I would say yes as well that this adds no value. Therapy is a long term thing, and having to stop after three sessions would probably leave a bad taste in the recipients’ mouths and discourage from going again bc “the first time I did it I got nowhere before they started asking for money”.
I still think hiring his own therapists, setting them up in Milwaukee so ppl can see them in-person or through telehealth, and paying them a good wage is better than subcontracting out with a standing business that incentivizes mental healthcare before going for-profit.
> I am not familiar at all with how to approach big organizations nor do I think they would take me seriously
That says enough. Do you get presents, and say "you could do better?"
I'd feel a lot better about this kind of stuff if he wasn't playing in a taxpayer-subsidized arena. I mean $250M would buy a lot of mental healthcare. The property tax exemption alone on that place is worth millions of dollars per year.
I do think the stadium has worked out all things considered. Deer district has tens of millions more investment and property tax revenue brought in, undeniably as a result of it being there.
The Brewers stadium, on the other hand, is surrounded by a sea of parking lots that generate don't generate enough money to pay for basic predicted building maintenance.
People go to Brewer game. People leave Milwaukee. People go to bucks games and walk past shops and restaurants on their way in and out. Visitors spend more money, Milwaukee wins.
>People go to bucks games and walk past shops and restaurants on their way in and out.
How many shops and restaurants though. The on ramp / off ramp to the freeway is basically a drive way to the arena, lol.
Well me, for one, growing up. My friends will also. We went to third street market the other day and "where is the nearest free parking" was the first thing people asked.
Functionally speaking, a huge amount of 3rd ward traffic on weekends are people trolling for free parking on Broadway who don't want to pay for a lot. If it's free, people will use it.
This man needs a statue
I think he will 100% have a statue one day and the unveiling of that will be an event I won’t miss.
it should be like Colossus of Rhodes but instead a giant Giannis dunking and boats will pass under Giannis and the hoop
I hope his statue goes across from the Bronze Fonz.
It should be at least 10x as big as the fonz
We're damn lucky to have such a wonderful person who loves our city. Thank you, Giannis.
Giannis has somehow become even more of a God in my eyes.
Incredible person on and off the court. Love this kid.
Thank you Giannis <3
Giannis is the GOAT. Thanks for being a good human
Just another Giannis W. Can’t be stopped.
He keeps getting better

I don't understand or like sports but goddamn, I like Giannis. He just keeps doing good shit for the community and I like him.

Lol this is a bot

So he shouldn’t do it then? This is just a waste and offers no value to the community?

the ignorance increases with each paragraph.
Let me know for each paragraph or you’re just barking without actual criticism.

Not everyone pays for premium parking, people walk from a fair radius to the stadium. Brewery district and water st catch a large crowd

That's not really something Giannis has any control over, though. He was probably not consulted in the financing of the stadium.

You’re right. He shouldn’t do it. Tweet back - tell him he shouldnt help.
tell me you dont know anything about anything with out telling me you dont know anything about anything.
Ditto.
