free healthcare

does he think everyone in the US gets the same healthcare that congresspeople get?

Music is making younger generations lazy.

Nono, it's books.

Nono, it's film.

Nono, it's TV.

Nono, it's music again, but only certain kinds of music like rock and metal.

Nono, it's video games.

Young men who are capable of playing video games all day are likely depressed, and have a clinical problem. Our volition to be productive was demonstrated during the 2020 lockdown and the great resignation of 2021-22, in which young men (as with all other working demographics) learned:

• They felt better in a non-toxic work environment
• They couldn't couch potato for more than a week without getting fierce cabin fever, and
• They got highly skilled when they were doing a thing they liked.

The ones who resigned from old jobs were the ones who were able to monetize their hobby enough to quit. Many more got productive, but didn't find something in their craft for which there was a ready market.

Speaker Johnson is a fierce MAGA and conforms to the common fascist trope of never speaking in good faith. See Sartre's antisemite quote.

With several perspectives including that crunch remains a thing in AAA game development, our ownership class and CEOs are less concerned about maximizing profits than they are being lords with a feif and peons (compulsory servitude).

Oh and death to all monarchists. Disney deaths preferred.

So us person here. This free healthcare he speaks of is news to me.

Please tell me more about this free healthcare

Theres nowhere in the country that has legitimate free healthcare, and only a small handful of states that have healthcare for those below the poverty line.

Where are these supposed young people just living it up off free healthcare?

The amount of dirty looks I got today casually playing slay the spire on my steam deck as a 41 year old man in the waiting room of a medical facility was pretty impressive.

Hey look, an "elite" with absolutely no concept of how actual reality works, who's just trying to stir up a base consisting of people with IQs smaller than their shoe size.

I promise you, if I could stay home all day and play video games by somehow using free healthcare, I'd be doing it.

Pretty rich coming from a guy who lets trump take every power congress is supposed to hold. WTF does he even do at work? If we stopped paying him, would anything at all happen? Every republican seems like a whiny crybullying grifter to me.

Adding my health Card number to my steam account payment method.

People turning to escapism because the world is shit?

FUCK THAT LET’S MAKE IT WORSE THEN.

"No one has talked about cutting one benefit in Medicaid to anyone who's duly owed—what we've talked about is returning work requirements, so, for example, you don't have able-bodied young men on a program that's designed for single mothers and the elderly and disabled. They're draining resources from people,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson last week.

'Get fucked poors, sucks to suck when working full time still keeps you below the poverty line. Can't afford to pay for you lazy fucks to see a doctor when we've got rich people who need the money more'

This man literally needs his son the keep his porn habits in check, and he's whining about people playing video games...

I would prefer to work a job than to grind in a videogame. Unfortunately, Americans live in a nation where bad working conditions, low pay, heavy competition, instability, and ghost jobs makes job seeking unpalatable.

American capitalism is a cancer.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. What sort of disconnected boomer statement is that!?

I hate using such terms as "boomer", but how else am I going to describe this?

I'm in Denmark, and I can just about get by on one job. I have friends from America struggling to make ends meet, and they're working TWO jobs!

So the fuck is this guy talking about!?

Who eats healthcare?

Decades pass, yet politicians keep using the same bullshit claims, just the sauce is slightly different.

Fuck Cheeto and the USA

Says republican who has access to healthcare.

Putting aside the, "Everyone but an idiot knows the poor must be kept poor, or they will never be productive" logic, it's also just dumb as shit to claim that "able-bodied young men" are going to be super motivated to get off the couch for the sake of health insurance - not even real healthcare, we're talking about paying hundreds of dollars a month so that if you get sick you can "only" be saddled with a very high deductible.

I fucking hate these people's guts. Something something Luigi's Mansion.

My brother I am going to find every outlet of escapism possible to cope with the reality that your generation had a massive part in creating. Sorry 💅

Just got done paying all my bills and mortgage with my health insurance. 🙃🙃🙃

He knows this is false. It's bait, that even i see this time. There really is nothing to see here

this dude and his son monitor each other's devices to make sure they don't consume porn. i don't think he should be allowed to talk about literally anyone else's habits.

Oh sweet i didn't realize my healthcare covered video games

I dunno. I'd be a lot more apt to go seek a job if the market for my desired career and skills wasn't currently being recklessly trashed. No point in taking a job offer knowing I'll be the new guy and the first to get let go when the inevitable cuts come due to government cutbacks, tariff damage, and a recession leading to more reductions. It's way easier to stay home and let the government, who carelessly took away my job, pay for me to play video games all day.

When pasty rich worms like this spout this kind of exploiter class drivel it makes me want to punch them in the throat.

What country is he talking about? Cuz it sure as shit ain't this one
