Awesome. But. It every job gets you healthcare benefits. And not every job pays enough to afford healthcare through ACA. So fuck off.

Nah… even Pimp Jesus would back hand this motherfucker

And then Pimp Jesus was chillin with his homies, as it was written by the playas,

Verily I say unto thee, let the motherfucker who says we don’t all deserve free universal healthcare,

Verily may he receive a back handed bitch slap across the face, not one time, but one time again for His dead homies, for this is pleasing unto Him,
