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

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.
BTW Steam Sumner sale is going on right now, Robocop for 5 bucks for the win! Id buy that for 5 dollars.

Wait, I can get free healthcare playing video games? Where?!?
Much of the world outside the US

This is just the “violent video games make people violent” argument from the 90s and 00s. Fear mongering at its core.

Lmfao what free healthcare?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Seriously. I'd love some free healthcare.
I'd probably be able to be more functional if I had proper healthcare.
This whole thing of "Free healthcare = leeches" is fucking insulting.

Another boomer fucking idiot saying idiot fucking boomer shit because idiot fucking boomers voted like boomer fucking idiots.

The argument is utterly stupid.
Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.
Um also, can I get some of that free healthcare? Cuz I have NEVER received free healthcare in my life!

Where is this free healthcare? Because I'm paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.

I'd be interested to know how I can pay my electricity bill with my free healthcare. Also I need to go to the supermarket today; how do I convert free healthcare into a trolleyful of food?

"These violent games make you violent!" "These cozy games make people lazy!"
Sometimes I think they just complain because it's a fetish for them.

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.

He's fucking Genx, my generation. I hate every GenXer that sold out. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, remember we are fighting class warfare. Don't let them divide us along generational lines. My good friend is a Boomer and is as liberal as can be. My two coworkers are GenX and both voted for Trump.

First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.

I’m also genx (xennial if it matters) and I’m referring to the boomer mindset, not the baby boomer generation. There are zoomers who voted for the current fascist regime and baby boomers who voted Harris. I hate generational warfare too, but “boomer” is a convenient term for an appalling mindset that can infect anyone, regardless of generation.

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.
