Kazumara, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

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.

impetchewus,

Um also, can I get some of that free healthcare? Cuz I have NEVER received free healthcare in my life!

Y’all got free healthcare?

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

ShaggySnacks,

Or the media will be like “Yeah, that makes sense” and will not push back.

RagingRobot,

Yeah they just move on and don’t even call out the lie. Then people see it and assume it’s true

LookBehindYouNowAndThen,
some_guy,

I’d be happy to oblige them. Good call.

Lmfao what free healthcare?

A_Random_Idiot,

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.

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.

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

The problem is not this bloke. The problem is the people that voted for him.

sugar_in_your_tea,

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.

All jobs are service industry now unless you’re somebody’s kid or relative. Things changed bigly over the last 20 years.

Does he realize these unemployed, dirty gamers who complain but don’t do anything productive tend to lean conservative?

What free healthcare?

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

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

wabasso,

They should control video games like they control guns.

How’s your son’s dick today, Mike Johnson? You have the app that tells you, so if you wouldn’t mind…

Looks like I’m unaware of something horrible. . ?

You’re happier not knowing, delete your account before some sicko comes by to gleefully explain this one.

ShaggySnacks,

And I will be that sicko.

WTF did I just read? Fuckin weirdos. That is uncomfortable on so many levels. Poor kid. I remain traumatised from the time I had to remove all the malware from my dad’s computer. That was twenty years ago, he’s dead now, but I still carry the abominable image of him in his wheelchair, pulling his decrepit knob to Thai ladyboys, with the dogs lined up on the sofa watching. Ignorance is bliss. Ho hum, conservatives eh?

rozodru, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

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.

FlembleFabber,

U ok?

rozodru,

I’m fine, are you?

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

He is.

Appleseuss,

Are you?

wabasso,

Btw is $80 actually up from the oughts and 10s? I’ve had $80 as the price for the latest AAA game in my head forever and am continually surprised it hasn’t changed.

vxx,

Are you from canada?

wabasso,

Yes but to be clear, I was joking.

vaultdweller013,

BTW Steam Sumner sale is going on right now, Robocop for 5 bucks for the win! Id buy that for 5 dollars.
