Sorry Zek, when technology affects people's lives it's technology news. Especially when affects who lives and dies. Making tech treat people equally is only political if someone makes it that way.
Of course it's a political discussion. It's a discussion of whether the US government should have their system for triaging veteran mental health changed (if what this article states is true, then yeah maybe they should).
I'm not really sure why something being a matter of politics makes it a bad thing. Why frame something being political as a bad thing?
Tbh I don't know how you could frame this as not being a political discussion. The article is about the US government and bills being put to Congress.
Regardless, it's only tangentially related to technology, and only relevant to one country. That's my point.
