          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.

            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.

            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

                      What free healthcare?

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

                          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.

                          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.

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

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

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

                                        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.
