says some rich asshole who probably hasn’t done real work a day in his life, likely living off dividends and bribe money

Duamerthrax,

And the healthcare Congress provides.

Translated: Adults 18 to 25 are using there parents healthcare and are not paying for the crappiest healthcare being offered at their first jobs.

Once again, we have lawmakers just making spurious if not outright false statements with no repercussions. When your words decide people’s reality, you should be afraid of what you say. And I don’t see that fear in legislators.

They just say whatever the fuck incorrect bullshit they wish, and walk it back at their leisure when the effect is already resolved in throughout news media. The world’s gotten their soundclip, the base started foaming when they heard their whistles, and then the politican quietly amends “oh, I obviously didn’t mean that.” If more politicans shut the fuck up because they were scared of the repercussions of walking their statements back, then maybe there’d be more reporting on what they’ve done then the inflammatorily idiotic shit they spew every other day.

He has no idea what the medicare requirements are, does he?

Ephera,

His job is to spread lies and fear, so no reason for him to say something different, if he would know reality…

I thought they were breaking into your basement to tell you they won’t watch your kid and you still have to buy them health insurance

What’s an enormous brain he has, it’s amazing that it fits in his itty bitty head.

So living in the UK which has free healthcare I can tell everybody that it’s super easy to do this.

Obviously I don’t have a job so I can’t afford food, so I just starve myself until I nearly die, and then the NHS turn up and put me in one of those pokeball rehabilitation things and I’m good to go.

Wait, you can eat heath care?

brsrklf,

All those lazy bums getting their nutrition from free IV drips.

Why would anyone want to waste their life working for any of these exploitive cunts. I’d much rather play video games.

…says guy who gets free healthcare and is paid by a public who he does nothing good for and billionaires who bribe him to hurt the public.

And? What’s the problem with that? In an ideal society with present technology we can afford to feed and house literally everyone. Let artificial scarcity rule you no longer. Let the people play games, and when 'work’is no longer, the obligation of wages they wil do it willingly, happily, and with enjoyment. Or at least wnough of us will to feed all.

So what if some get fed more than they work? I like helping people. We should have plenty to spare without the parasite class.

jj4211,

With the caveat that we can accommodate everyone so long as sufficient people put in their fair share of effort. In an ideal world that will mean very short working hours and/or nicely early retirement/late entry into the work force.

Certainly the usual talking heads are spoiled rich guys that have never known labor and have not done their fair share, but it is a difficult thing to balance to make sure we do take care of each other but make sure enough people are engaged to successfully do that

Star,

People will use labor to make food if they only have the means. No one sane would rather starve, and even the bourgeoise can be taught the value of their labor once it saves a life, perhaps their own.

That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of their young men spend every waking hour playing video games.

BleatingZombie,

It also makes sense considering I eat Prozac for dinner and live under a shelter made of BandAids

It does make sense because I break my legs regularly playing video games, putting a huge strain on public healthcare.

hperrin,

You’re probably holding your controller wrong.

ladicius,

His mouse pad must be broken.

I pay $60 (or whatever), pay for my data connection, and get to play my game literally for years. It’s one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around. I get tons of value out of my purchase, it reduces stress, I get a sense of challenge out of it, and for the amount I spent I get a lot pf return.

Now if only health care were free. That’s just a bullshit statement and not even worth responding to. That said, In its current state it’s the opposite of video games. It’s expensive. The amount you put in is often not what you get out. It’s stressful.

Maybe the only way it’s like games is that someone can pull the plug on you when it’s not profitable anymore.

Rhynoplaz,

Right? I feel bad that it’s beautiful outside and we’re all inside playing games and streaming TV, but every time we leave the house as a family, it ends up costing me at least $100.

I don‘t like to see the politics of this miserable country here.

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

What healthcare?

Imgonnatrythis,

I must have been playing too many video games cuz I totally missed out on the free Healthcare. Can I still get some of that?

SocialMediaRefugee,

Have you tried just eating food? Every time I do that in games it heals me. :P

gandalf_der_12te,

I heard golden carrots are the best at that, which you can get from the farmer for the low price of 1-2 emeralds.

Instructions unclear, I smashed up all my walls but there was no food inside
