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

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

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.

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

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.

People are checking out because the middle class is non-existent. It doesn’t matter how hard you work - the the prospect of getting ahead, owning a home, retirement is out of reach for the vast majority of people.

People can work hard and stress themselves out or they can check out of the system and achieve largely the same result.

This is about the failures of late stage capitalism. To claim the issue is free healthcare is gaslighting.

Is this free healthcare you speak of in the room with us right now?

free healthcare

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

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.

Look up the book "Hell's Angel's" by Hunter Thompson.

There's a section in the book where he writes about the economics of being a hippie/biker/artist circa 1970.

A biker could work for six months as a Union stevedore and save up enough money to go on the road for two years. A part time waitress could support herself and her musician boyfreind.

Who eats healthcare?

Please tell me more about this free healthcare

People turning to escapism because the world is shit?

FUCK THAT LET’S MAKE IT WORSE THEN.

Says republican who has access to healthcare.

Meanwhile: Politicians who never had a day of honest work their entire life.

And rich people don’t have jobs because they mooch off poor people.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

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.

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?

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.

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

Fuck Cheeto and the USA

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

"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'

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

Where are they getting free healthcare from? I'd like it. Oh does Canada have this problem? No? Huh

Free Healthcare ? In Amerikkka ?

Since when ?

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.

Where are they getting the money for the games? Those are expensive as shit, I’m still making do with games I bought decades ago because I can’t afford new ones.

How are they eating? Food is fucking expensive, are they getting free food as well?

How are they paying rent? Have to have a roof over your head and electricity in your walls to play video games all day.

This mother fucker thinks all guys are like his son, lazy mother fuckers mooching off their parents. What a dumb, ignorant moron.

how do i leech off of free healthcare that sounds really good

This is rich coming from someone that has literally never worked a days labor in their lives.

Young men as a cohort have a 90% employment rate.

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.

Where can I get this free healtcare that pays your rent?

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.

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!?

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 💅

Sure. Let's just pretend video games are free. And so is healthcare. Also, how much health care does he think young people use? This is a stupid argument.

Free healthcare doesn't pay rent or utilities. I would love to stay at home and play video games regardless of my healthcare status, but I simply couldn't afford to.
