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.
Dunno if it is satire, i honestly am struggling to tell these days, but there’s a post that says this fucker routinely plays surgeon simulator while attending meetings…on twitch
Adding my health Card number to my steam account payment method.
If you choose to pay this way, you will no longer be given upfront prices on the steam store and several months or years later you will receive a bill from a debt collector to finally pay for your game. And it’s going to be a lot more than you thought.
Lol, sorry i forgot to put /s at the end …
This man literally needs his son the keep his porn habits in check, and he’s whining about people playing video games…
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.
Oh sweet i didn’t realize my healthcare covered 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.
“Middle class” contrasts with “upper class” and “lower class”, not with “ruling class” and “working class”; it’s the wrong perspective.
It may be today, but a strong middle class is what placates the working class. Give em something to shoot for so they won’t shoot you.
“Middle class” IS working class. It’s a false distinction that only serves to undermine our only tool against the ruling class, class solidarity. (I think we’re kind of saying the same thing.)

Time for another round of:
“Turn on, tune in, drop out.”
Waaaay ahead of ya haha
This is about the
failuressuccesses of late stage capitalismFTFY
Is this free healthcare you speak of in the room with us right now?
Is he mad that young adults can stay on their parents’ health plan until age 26?
Which the parents pay for… They just don’t know what words mean anymore.
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.
That’s what these guys grew up seeing and reading, huh? So they’re trying to govern with assumptions that have not held true for decades.
No they are not governing. They are attempting to rule using rhetoric they know sticks with older generations. That’s it. Just gotta keep people voting and they will say and do anything to get those votes.
Nah, young folk these days just don’t want to work. They need to buckle down, pull on the ol’ bootstraps, and work a part time job at the factory while going to college. No reason that shouldn’t support a family of 4 with a single income!
Sounds awesome! Reminds me of a Chinese Buddhist couple who work a few months then travel a few months to temples
I would take anything Hunter S. Thompson wrote with a massive grain of salt. He’s fun to read but gonzo journalism isn’t a great source for facts.
First, he wrote the book in the 1970s. People would have noticed if he was wildly off base.
Second, you can do a quick search and prove his numbers were correct.
Meanwhile: Politicians who never had a day of honest work their entire life.
Where are they getting free healthcare from? I’d like it. Oh does Canada have this problem? No? Huh
We still have widespread disengagement in Canada too because the problem isn’t the healthcare.
The problem is wage suppression and corporate greed.
And rich people don’t have jobs because they mooch off poor people.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
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.
I think he might be speaking about 16 year old boys. He seems mad that they’re children instead of working father’s.
free healthcare
does he think everyone in the US gets the same healthcare that congresspeople get?
Probably.
Free Healthcare ? In Amerikkka ?
Since when ?
Only when you’re so poor (earn less than 15k/yr out 21k a year in some states) not having it functionally costs more money, but only so long as you follow all the bureaucratic rules to continually prove eligibility.
And don’t forget, you still have to find healthcare providers that accept Medicaid, pay copays, etc.
In some states they don’t even have that. I’ve been seeking disability for six years in America for a partially broken back, with ten years of documented ongoing treatment at this point from childhood and my parent’s medical coverage (I can walk, but I’m stooped most of the time and get to live with chronic pain, yippee) and because I couldn’t get by on nothing, and got a part time gig that didn’t cross the threshold I still got my benefits denied. So like, in all technicality, though I see myself as an able-bodied young man and pursue an active lifestyle to make sure my weight doesn’t cause my spine to degrade and leave me fully paralyzed, I’m not even who this guy’s talking about, and I can’t get benefits through the current system. Now I’m just uninsured and planning to immigrate for education (and healthcare).
Until you’re 26 off your parents
Where can I get this free healtcare that pays your rent?
By getting elected to Senate or Congress
