Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman
I'd love to play some video games, anyone know where I can find some of this free healthcare?
State Medicaid. Just make sure you keep your wage under the limits.
Don't do this... But that's what he means.
Sell drugs or have a hustle on the side and get more money. /S
It's the same game from the street to the big businesses. Big businesses and rich people just make charities and get offshore bank accounts to rape our economy.
Looking forward to the federal thc hemp ban. Then I can grow weed for huge profit margins, quit my real job, and actually sit around and play video games without giving anything back to society all day like he's accusing us all of doing. Wish they'd make alcohol illegal too. We have enough dipshits in congress for this to happen after they do all this horrible stuff and then get angry when non of it accomplishes what they think it will accomplish. Moonshine is even easier to mass produce than weed and like 4000% easier to get away with.
It's much worse than that, They have the entire US stock market rigged to so the same.
LOL, Says the guy mooching off all of us for free healthcare and a paycheck.
Where does a young man get this free health care? I'm not young anymore, but for free health care I can pretend to be...
Ah yes, young men. That notoriously healthcare obsesses group of individuals that do all they can to drain the system of all its funding. That's the problem.
It's a shame people actually fall for blatant lies like this.
There was a billionaire, CEO to multiple companies, arguing that he’s one of the best in one of the most grindiest games…
But where's the free healthcare?
He's probably (attempting) to reference welfare .... essentially trying to justify work requirements for it
Ah, yes, because I don't need money for rent and food, just healthcare.
What a moron.
Magats shit on women... Still get women votes... Shit in soliders still get soldiers votes... Shit on Mexicans.... Still get Mexican votes... Shit on men...still get men votes...
I don't know who this says more about... The voting group or Democrats that can't win despite this shit.
I'm disabled and can't afford a working computer to play video games, you rich motherfucker.
Healthcare is just a way to coerce the working class to produce value for the wealthy. That is the real reason why there is no universal healthcare in America.
I'm not concerned about some young videogamer getting free healthcare. I'm more concerned with the DOGE GOBLIN getting BILLIONS in government contracts to build rockets that blow up spectacularly, wasting a billion dollars with every explosion, just so he can quip "Just a scratch."
That's a billion dollar scratch that could have made a huge difference in thousands of lives.
I'm not worried about American citizens getting health care, I'm worried about Foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs getting BILLIONS in government contracts, paid for by taxes on the working class, while calling those same workers/taxpayers "parasites."
That’s a billion dollar scratch that could have made a huge difference in thousands of lives.
Okay, sure. But consider that they didn't earn those billions of dollars by sucking up to the right assortment of Wall Street financiers, rich family members, and ego-driven Presidential nominees.
Anybody who has ever been unfortunate enough to have to apply for any of these healthcare or food stipend programs would know that it's not as easy as the government makes it seem. In fact, the amount of bureaucracy, means testing, and highly restrictive income limitations means that most people don't qualify period and people who do qualify have to spend an inordinate amount of time waiting to hear back from the government to know if they have been accepted or not, all the while hoping and praying they don't get sick and can manage their money long enough to continue feeding themselves.
Case in point, my fiance is out of work right now and actively seeking work. She applied for both MediCAL and SNAP and was denied for MediCAL because she had earned too much already that year to qualify and the SNAP benefits totaled out to $20/month in food stamps, based on historical income, which is insufficient even for the most frugal of individuals to make work. This is for someone currently earning $0/month and being almost entirely supported by me.
After a certain point, it becomes a massive drain on your time and resources that could be spent looking for a job, so you stop bothering with the system altogether because who wants to spend hours doing paperwork and submitting claims just to get enough spare change to buy a bulk bag of rice to feed yourself a struggle meal?
I don't want to hear shit about "handouts" from anybody. My fiance paid her taxes faithfully for years without ever having to rely on the program, so where are her benefits? She has undoubtedly paid more into the system than she will ever extract.
It’s mooching off healthcare in the us, it’s a basic need for other countries.
Just pop some health potions
We have free health care? Coulda fooled me.
People vote for this guy.
This guy unfortunately and unironically exists and likely has more power than anybody on the fediverse.
As a father of two young men... Good!
Healthcare is a right. Especially in the richest nation in the history of humanity.
Someone so disconnected with reality should not represent anyone.
I don't accept the premise that working a job to make someone else rich is axiomatically good.
Many jobs make the world worse. I'd rather someone sit at home and play Tetris than build murder-drones, or work on some sort of AI powered stalking-ad company.
Many of the jobs are just bullshit. Another "AI" company? Another product manager with no real decision making power? A few billion dollars poured into "the metaverse"? Waste of time and resources.
That aside, most jobs make the owners rich while labor gets a few crumbs. You work all day making widgets. The boss pays you $10. They sell your widgets for $1000. That's a bum deal. But there's a thousand desperate people waiting to take your spot, plus union busters eager to betray labor and beat you up. Pay people the real value of their labor, and treat them with respect, and you'd likely get more people working.
Johnson is a heretical, hypocritical, piece of shit. No one should take him seriously. His church should -- wait, he's southern baptist? The "we're going to split off because we want slavery" sect? Not surprising. Those assholes suck.
This. The whole framing needs to be pushed back against.
He seems to know a lot about "young boys."
He talked about monitoring his sons porn viewing history I think.
Rich people always think they pay for everyone. Wrong.
We are in the same society. A society with no hope is not a stable society.
Yeah! We gotta give people the choice to work or die due to lack of medical care! That's never been done before! What's that called?
Says the asshole mooching off the gold standard free healthcare given to congressmen.
And what was his "merit" again (since that's how they like to frame it)? Oh right, fooling people into voting for him. Just PR and courting big shots for campaign money.
Lmfao what free healthcare?
Seriously. I'd love some free healthcare.
I'd probably be able to be more functional if I had proper healthcare.
This whole thing of "Free healthcare = leeches" is fucking insulting.
Can confirm. Here in Canada, nobody works. We all sit at home and play video games instead. There's no industry, no shops, no hospitals. Only video games.
Yeah, most people I know don’t have jobs! We just run extension cords between our igloos to power our video game machines. If it weren’t for them we could totally be like the States. 🤦🏻♂️😂
Can confirm, only video games in the UK too. Certainly not the 6th largest economy in the world worth £3.84 trillion. Nor a labour force with 74.9% in employment, that would be silly!
Norwegian living in Denmark. I moved from Norway because everyone was just gaming, but I wanted to go to gigs, so I moved. Turns out everyone games in Denmark all the time too! It must be why the Northern European countries score so high in the happiness rating: all we do is game all day. It's not like these countries have any money, especially Norway.
In Québec we all own a state mandated PS5 (no Xbox's allowed, that would be illegal) and play a variety of Fifa, Marvel Heroes and Valorant because it's said to sharpen our skills and better society. Many women knock on my door saying they want me to grant them children, but knowing that my KDA might suffer from their demands I know not to give in, and to instead keep grinding until my next government granted dialysis appointment. Mon dieu que j'aime le Québec 🙏
sounds nice tbh
Exactly.
Even before computers, we Indians were happily playing Chess until Mughals invaded us.
And then we showed them Chess, got them hooked, and then Brits invaded us.
I couldn't possibly do both things!
They'll just keep turning the screws tighter if you let them.
Don't listen to their lies.
The argument is utterly stupid.
Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.
Um also, can I get some of that free healthcare? Cuz I have NEVER received free healthcare in my life!
The problem is that voters are so damn stupid that someone can make a statement like this without being interrogated.
Or the media will be like "Yeah, that makes sense" and will not push back.
Yeah they just move on and don't even call out the lie. Then people see it and assume it's true
I'd be happy to oblige them. Good call.
working where exactly? working on a farm that will pay you minimum wage, if that? oh OH I know working in the tech sector where it's now and has been for the past couple years an absolute nightmare to find a job in.
There are NO jobs out there that will pay for the current cost of living and the ones that COULD aren't hiring, and if anything, are laying people off. And yeah, these unemployed young men are TOTALLY playing videogames that now cost $80 a pop paid via a job they don't have.
BTW Steam Sumner sale is going on right now, Robocop for 5 bucks for the win! Id buy that for 5 dollars.
U ok?
I'm fine, are you?
Are you?
He is.
This is just the “violent video games make people violent” argument from the 90s and 00s. Fear mongering at its core.
"These violent games make you violent!" "These cozy games make people lazy!"
Sometimes I think they just complain because it's a fetish for them.
That darn avocado toast!
I mean I do know a lot of people with no real jobs that game all day and they have some sorta shitty health care that doesn't really get them proper treatment if that counts
says some rich asshole who probably hasn't done real work a day in his life, likely living off dividends and bribe money
And the healthcare Congress provides.
Another boomer fucking idiot saying idiot fucking boomer shit because idiot fucking boomers voted like boomer fucking idiots.
He's fucking Genx, my generation. I hate every GenXer that sold out. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, remember we are fighting class warfare. Don't let them divide us along generational lines. My good friend is a Boomer and is as liberal as can be. My two coworkers are GenX and both voted for Trump.
I’m also genx (xennial if it matters) and I’m referring to the boomer mindset, not the baby boomer generation. There are zoomers who voted for the current fascist regime and baby boomers who voted Harris. I hate generational warfare too, but “boomer” is a convenient term for an appalling mindset that can infect anyone, regardless of generation.
Free healthcare?
I can't wait to pay for groceries with my free healthcare.
Is this Free Healthcare in the room with us now, you miserable ghoul?
What free healthcare?
Young men have to jump through the most hoops to get state level health insurance.
claims mouthpiece of the medical insurance industry
FTFY
The same old "welfare queen" argument again.
That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of their young men spend every waking hour playing video games.
Or, what if their healthcare continued to be free so they wouldn't have an incentive to find a way to live on $700 month?
I know one of those young men playing video games, and he REALLY wants a job, but no matter how he works the math, the medication that keeps him alive costs more than what he'd make. So, his only choice is to budget around permanent poverty or die.
Same reason I've been unemployed for a long while, my disability and medicare covers so much of my costs that working would likely result in less money in my pocket.
They'd have to have free healthcare in the first place...
He has no idea what the medicare requirements are, does he?
His job is to spread lies and fear, so no reason for him to say something different, if he would know reality...
Oh god they’ve been shitting on video games since pinball. Get some new lines bro
They should control video games like they control guns.
First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.
I only play computer games after I get home from working hard all day.
Translated: Adults 18 to 25 are using there parents healthcare and are not paying for the crappiest healthcare being offered at their first jobs.
This is absurd, considering Mike Johnson doesn’t work for a living. None of these government officials do anything worthwhile but still get paid for it.
It's hard being that evil
Pays well too. The price of their morality for a lifetime of pay and free healthcare. Because let’s face it, these idiots get FEHB healthcare for life for being in congress because they made it so. They get a salary AFTER they served too, after Min 5 years, but they get 80% of their salary as part of a pension. Insane nonsense if you stay for 20 years compared to what we get.
...says guy who gets free healthcare and is paid by a public who he does nothing good for and billionaires who bribe him to hurt the public.
I'd be interested to know how I can pay my electricity bill with my free healthcare. Also I need to go to the supermarket today; how do I convert free healthcare into a trolleyful of food?
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
Here's some more food for thought: what happens if they piss off the Eve players? Those clowns have basically been training themselves on how to come out on top in a no-hold-barred capitalist system.
And the diplomacy and politics.
And scams. Or baits, escalations, and war strategies.
I ran my small alliance for a bit. The organization skills corralling 200 active people for an op is insane. Spending days prepping and doing logistics moving tons of ships. Making arrangements and mutual defense agreements. It was arduous work.
Then to have the fight not happen. Or the target not to drop. And having to manage the morale of everyone who devoted the time for it or purposely made sure they were free.
Gamers really are the most oppressed.
Look what happened in China. Some governments can absolutely limit gaming time if they have enough power over their citizens.
Videogames are the cheapest and most durable form of entertainment, ideal qualities when you don't have a job and resources to keep you busy. This fucker wants people to never escape being in misery.
The goal is to get those "young men" out there in the job market struggling to make ends meet day after day so their boss can buy his second vacation home and new yacht. In the meantime Republicans will point to some group or minority as the cause of their woes. It's a win, win for them.
Can these monsters please just fuck off!
So, they want to take away healthcare young men don’t have so they’ll get jobs that don’t exist. Sounds like a conservative plan.
The jobs do exist, and I'm pretty sure the young men are working them, but the jobs also kinda suck.
Yes, that's why they're at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I'm sure they'd get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.
Wait, I can get free healthcare playing video games? Where?!?
Much of the world outside the US
What free healthcare?
Where is this free healthcare? Because I'm paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.
Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.
Its a lot more rewarding than choking on a small carrot.
Should have chewed first.
Y'all got free healthcare?
Oooh, I'm one of those! Gaming on foodstamps and social health in a US state, AMA.
How does it feel being rich???
Truly wonderful.
You need the gaming in this lifestyle to help divert attention from not being able to get comfort foods at month's end.
Otherwise it leaves me all the time to realize the physical and mental hells I am putting myself through. I've been qualified for free health care for over a year, but I just arrived to the point where I can reach out and engage the system. I initially thought enrolling would come in handy if I get into an accident, but last week I made the call to start preventive treatments.
I have an appointment with an actual doctor next month. I am also getting the ball rolling on the emotional side. I was contemplating moving back home, but now I might give this current iteration some more time.
edit: i just reread the title (of course I didn't read the article); I'm 40.
Once again, we have lawmakers just making spurious if not outright false statements with no repercussions. When your words decide people's reality, you should be afraid of what you say. And I don't see that fear in legislators.
They just say whatever the fuck incorrect bullshit they wish, and walk it back at their leisure when the effect is already resolved in throughout news media. The world's gotten their soundclip, the base started foaming when they heard their whistles, and then the politican quietly amends "oh, I obviously didn't mean that." If more politicans shut the fuck up because they were scared of the repercussions of walking their statements back, then maybe there'd be more reporting on what they've done then the inflammatorily idiotic shit they spew every other day.
I make time to do both 🤫
Man collecting handsome salary and amazing healthcare in exchange for betraying his entire country tries to shift the public focus onto people trying to make their lives less miserable with video games.
So basically, they are mooching off of free healthcare - by performing by one of the most risk free activities that is almost going to guarantee they won't need healthcare in the first place?
MAGA tactic:
Take negative stereotype, say it is preventing a desirable goal from being reached, then say it is because of what you are actually trying to cut. Doesn't matter if they barely have any real relation to each other.
What's an enormous brain he has, it's amazing that it fits in his itty bitty head.
So living in the UK which has free healthcare I can tell everybody that it's super easy to do this.
Obviously I don't have a job so I can't afford food, so I just starve myself until I nearly die, and then the NHS turn up and put me in one of those pokeball rehabilitation things and I'm good to go.
Shit, they're on to me.
Yeah just get disabled, unable to work, and get ssi, then all the free health care. Just have to live with being disabled and not really able to do much, and being poor and hoping that the government doesn't turn off your ssi cuase it will save them money.
nah they are playing video games all day because video games are more fun than toxic work environments and helping CEOs earn bonuses
Young men have no idea what health care is, nor do they care.
They are healthy and heal fast.
They are the ones who traditionally pay in and dont take out.
As someone who is 25 I must agree, not only do I not give a damn I actively welcome death. Shitty fucken eyesight not withstanding, I think there's thinner ballistic glass
Utter BS
What we can? How? I've been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra
Well see thats your problem. Ditch cobra and join J.I JOOOOEEEEEE!!!!!
Then you can be paid under minimum wage to risk your life fighting in unjust wars, only to find your government abandons you and any help you were promised for injuries or complications to your daily lifestyle as a result of your time in the service.
See? 'MURICA!
Does he realize these unemployed, dirty gamers who complain but don’t do anything productive tend to lean conservative?
You know what, he's right. I'll go get off my ass to spend the evening running my 2 million dollar quarts mine and then swing by my 875k dollar quarts furnaces, weight seperation, flotation cells, and crystalization facility to create a bunch of semiconductor grade silicon used in solar and electronics production.
OH WAIT! I DON'T HAVE $3M FACILITIES TO RUN! Somebody else is out there doing the work that used to take a hundred men. The world doesn't need us all doing 12 hour days, the world wouldn't take us if we even offered.
the rich siphoning money for themselves is infinitely more damaging than anything else
Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.
And? What's the problem with that? In an ideal society with present technology we can afford to feed and house literally everyone. Let artificial scarcity rule you no longer. Let the people play games, and when 'work'is no longer, the obligation of wages they wil do it willingly, happily, and with enjoyment. Or at least wnough of us will to feed all.
So what if some get fed more than they work? I like helping people. We should have plenty to spare without the parasite class.
With the caveat that we can accommodate everyone so long as sufficient people put in their fair share of effort. In an ideal world that will mean very short working hours and/or nicely early retirement/late entry into the work force.
Certainly the usual talking heads are spoiled rich guys that have never known labor and have not done their fair share, but it is a difficult thing to balance to make sure we do take care of each other but make sure enough people are engaged to successfully do that
People will use labor to make food if they only have the means. No one sane would rather starve, and even the bourgeoise can be taught the value of their labor once it saves a life, perhaps their own.
how the fuck do i do this it sounds awesome
What free healthcare because it sounds like I've been fucking doing it wrong this whole time holding down job after SHITTY job since I graduated high school and don't have shit to show for it. Fuck all the way off attacking the one thing that brings joy to my life you disingenuous piece of shit.
Does getting health care mean leaving your basement?
If so, young men aren’t doing it.
Hell, I leave my basement frequently and don’t want to get health care because I’m sure it will bankrupt me.
If someone callled me an ambulance I’d fight them because I don’t have ambulance money.
Can confirm. I dont leave my basement or get healthcare.
Why would anyone want to waste their life working for any of these exploitive cunts. I’d much rather play video games.
The problem is not this bloke. The problem is the people that voted for him.
Maybe. But in many areas, only one party realistically has a shot, so reps basically get elected in their primary process. So instead of needing a majority of the total population to win, you just need a plurality of the few who get involved in the primary process.
Blame the people involved in the primary process, not the people who only vote in the general election.
I hope he gets Fibromyalgia.
Is this a reference to something in particular or just picking a random shitty disease?
It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.
So, it would be a curse on multiple levels!
Source: I used to be an attorney who fought for people who had been denied benefits.
What about all of those congress critters that get that big bad "socialized medicine" that the common people can't (funny how it is fine when it is for them isn't it.)? I bet that costs a shit ton given the average age of congress critters. How about we make some cuts there?
He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That's how far removed they are.
I've had it with these fucks I see him I'll kill him
Nobody is a bigger government mooch then MAGA Nazi politicians.
Luigi killed the CEO on call of duty, makes sense
does jerking off while I'm supposed to be working count?
As an Aussie who has always enjoyed playing (and making) games, I've had free healthcare all my life and have only worked my arse off.. Like most people I know.
*Used to get free healthcare.
Dunno how it is where you are, but bulk billing GPs just don't exist anymore in SA.
It's getting harder but they are there. But hey, if I break my leg and go to ER at a public hospital, even though I have to wait a shit load of hours, I won't pay anything when I walk out.
Didn't he say this shit months ago?
Is this the one who gets his son to monitor whether he's masturbating or not? Or is that some other guy?
No that is what billionaires do mooch off the tax payer.
Just in case you forgot, getting rid of video games is part of Project 2025. Republicans have had a vendetta against them since Mortal Kombat came out in the arcades back in the 90s. And in some ways they have been against them since their very inception with Pong and Tetris.
Because they encourage creativity and independent thought.
I'll note that they loved the propaganda and mental training that America's Army provided.
Sounds about right.
Project 2025: Fuck literally everything good in this world. Work to death and be forced to praise Jesus.
Could you give a reference? I don't doubt what you're saying, I just think it would be helpful for people to see it.
I got fucked up in a video game and can't handle the defeat so I blame them for attention!
the population of young men who do nothing all day, have no interest in employment, but are also extremely motivated to apply for and maintain their access to healthcare and make regular doctor appointments
Mooch on guys!
I pay $60 (or whatever), pay for my data connection, and get to play my game literally for years. It’s one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around. I get tons of value out of my purchase, it reduces stress, I get a sense of challenge out of it, and for the amount I spent I get a lot pf return.
Now if only health care were free. That’s just a bullshit statement and not even worth responding to. That said, In its current state it’s the opposite of video games. It’s expensive. The amount you put in is often not what you get out. It’s stressful.
Maybe the only way it’s like games is that someone can pull the plug on you when it’s not profitable anymore.
Right? I feel bad that it's beautiful outside and we're all inside playing games and streaming TV, but every time we leave the house as a family, it ends up costing me at least $100.
All jobs are service industry now unless you're somebody's kid or relative. Things changed bigly over the last 20 years.
Got laid off. I now have two jobs. One at a store for the health insurance. Which I’ll lose in an upcoming strike. Which is most likely to happen. Because fuck corporate. Then I have my start up job that is a side job till they can afford to pay me salary. I make all commissions now. But sales are a tough thing to get in this field. Thankful for Ai to help email so many people.
I don‘t like to see the politics of this miserable country here.
Newsmedia that repeat blatantly pro-fash talking points as headline grist, are complicit
Through what fucking program? Magic?
Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, "If not for immigration, who's going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?"
Congress need to fix big and large companies from firing people in masses every quarter and not hire people.
As a young man, I'm just waiting for the AGI breakthrough, so it either fixes the fucking government, or wipes us out. Win-win.
Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.
But also Johnson is stupid.
I thought they were breaking into your basement to tell you they won’t watch your kid and you still have to buy them health insurance
or pretending that conversion therapy cured them, and addicted to possibly porn.
Wait, you can eat heath care?
All those lazy bums getting their nutrition from free IV drips.
But then aren't people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?
So time to remove the free healthcare benefits from this congress member
Lmao.
What a joke.
Mike, just cause you're a shit parent who can't talk to his kid, doesn't mean you gotta make the rest of us suffer.
Cool. Until there is no more profit and no more billionaires, there should be no labor and free healthcare.
Everyone who lives here plays video games all day and our healthcare isn't even completely free, the burden is just shared by nationalization. Video games are such a menace to society!
Lol. I have free healthcare and I played videogames every fucking chance I get because it makes me happy, but it's pretty rare since I worked 278 hours in May.
Working isn't worth doing.
They are finally going after the most oppressed minority!
Been there, done that. Eventually you need to get up and go find a job.
Yes, but the motivation behind the rhetoric is far more sinister and cynical. They're demonising affordable healthcare as excuse to stay home and play videogames.
When I was unemployed and playing video games while waiting for replies, I didn't qualify for any free healthcare and I needed some
I don't know what he's talking about
Right-wing 101: "we need to destroy social safety net X because the immigrants/criminals/lazy/fraudsters are smooching it from hard-working, honest citizens!"
Translation: we need to take services away from the working class so gazillionaires can have an extra tax break and buy a bigger yacht to put their current yacht on.
