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.

I can't wait to pay for groceries with my free healthcare.

Nobody is a bigger government mooch then MAGA Nazi politicians.

First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.

Utter BS

Oooh, I'm one of those! Gaming on foodstamps and social health in a US state, AMA.

does jerking off while I'm supposed to be working count?

Another boomer fucking idiot saying idiot fucking boomer shit because idiot fucking boomers voted like boomer fucking idiots.

This is just the “violent video games make people violent” argument from the 90s and 00s. Fear mongering at its core.

Didn't he say this shit months ago?

claims mouthpiece of the medical insurance industry

FTFY

Been there, done that. Eventually you need to get up and go find a job.

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?

Can these monsters please just fuck off!

Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.

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.

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.

Where is this free healthcare? Because I'm paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.

The problem is that voters are so damn stupid that someone can make a statement like this without being interrogated.

Wait, I can get free healthcare playing video games? Where?!?

Lmfao what free healthcare?

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.

Is this Free Healthcare in the room with us now, you miserable ghoul?

Y'all got free healthcare?

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.

Free healthcare?

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.

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.

What free healthcare?

Young men have to jump through the most hoops to get state level health insurance.

What free healthcare?

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.

Oh god they’ve been shitting on video games since pinball. Get some new lines bro
