Then treat workers with dignity you asshat. Pay them well, give them the days off they need, give them a retirement to look forward to, health care, respect their time off, and STFU about what they do on their time off even if it’s just playing video games.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hes totally a drain on Oxygen ressources. He should stop using it.
From time to time the ruling class has to be reminded that, as the bigger of the two classes, the working class could just eat them and start over. If we're not content with the system, we can change it anytime we like. We'll start by trying to get change by ballot box, but if you close that door for us, if you force us too... we absolutely can get change by guillotine.

I'm going to start calling these motherfuckers Don Quixote, they debate strawmen as if they were fighting windmills
Wait... You guys have all been playing video games all day?! Well damn it!
Possibly mildly unpopular opinion. I'd probably be happy giving up gaming to work more, say 60 hours a week total, if that meant I could fully support my family on my own income and let my wife do something other than work (if she chooses)
If I wasn’t salaried I’d be down. But I’d need a new leisure activity since gaming is my main one.

Tell me you are out of touch with saying it
I don't want this dignity shit. I would like instead to have sex all my available time after work if I want to. Otherwise I would like to do other things.
Maybe congress needs to do something themselves. These days they don't seem to be moving at all. On anything.
Hey now, the reason I game so much is cause I have insomnia. I go to work!
Couldn't you get some kind of medication to help with that from our wonderful healthcare system . . . ah, yes, I see the problem now.
Come make me
He should ho share porn with his son again
The day Mike quits his cushy job as house speaker and goes to work in the mines is the day I'll join him there
How about do literally fucking anything to make it possible to work in exchange for a living wage, huh? I hope these fascists get sent to concentration camps themselves in the end they fucking deserve it, unlike the Jews did.
I hate that a little worm like this shithead has any power whatsoever.
This weird little freak can go fuck himself.
is he watching gay porn, or is he turns to straight porn as a closeted to "stave off his desires"
Mike Johnson has a very cab forward face. (Look it up, it was a thing.)
