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

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 13 hours ago

Much of the world outside the US

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 62 points 17 hours ago (8 children)

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.

What free healthcare?

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 14 points 14 hours ago

Y'all got free healthcare?

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

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

And the healthcare Congress provides.

Nobody is a bigger government mooch then MAGA Nazi politicians.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 15 hours ago

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.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 9 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 17 points 15 hours ago

What free healthcare?

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago

As someone who is 25 I must agree, not only do I not give a damn I actively welcome death. Shitty fucken eyesight not withstanding, I think there's thinner ballistic glass

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Didn't he say this shit months ago?

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

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

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 47 points 23 hours ago

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

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

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 91 points 1 day ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Gibibit@lemmy.world 26 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] full_throttle@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 353 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Can confirm. Here in Canada, nobody works. We all sit at home and play video games instead. There's no industry, no shops, no hospitals. Only 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.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 32 points 23 hours ago

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.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Videogames are the cheapest and most durable form of entertainment, ideal qualities when you don't have a job and resources to keep you busy. This fucker wants people to never escape being in misery.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

The goal is to get those "young men" out there in the job market struggling to make ends meet day after day so their boss can buy his second vacation home and new yacht. In the meantime Republicans will point to some group or minority as the cause of their woes. It's a win, win for them.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So, they want to take away healthcare young men don’t have so they’ll get jobs that don’t exist. Sounds like a conservative plan.
