Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman
-
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
People will use labor to make food if they only have the means. No one sane would rather starve, and even the bourgeoise can be taught the value of their labor once it saves a life, perhaps their own.

He seems to know a lot about "young boys."

I'd be happy to oblige them. Good call.

Says the asshole mooching off the gold standard free healthcare given to congressmen.
And what was his "merit" again (since that's how they like to frame it)? Oh right, fooling people into voting for him. Just PR and courting big shots for campaign money.

I don't accept the premise that working a job to make someone else rich is axiomatically good.
Many jobs make the world worse. I'd rather someone sit at home and play Tetris than build murder-drones, or work on some sort of AI powered stalking-ad company.
Many of the jobs are just bullshit. Another "AI" company? Another product manager with no real decision making power? A few billion dollars poured into "the metaverse"? Waste of time and resources.
That aside, most jobs make the owners rich while labor gets a few crumbs. You work all day making widgets. The boss pays you $10. They sell your widgets for $1000. That's a bum deal. But there's a thousand desperate people waiting to take your spot, plus union busters eager to betray labor and beat you up. Pay people the real value of their labor, and treat them with respect, and you'd likely get more people working.
Johnson is a heretical, hypocritical, piece of shit. No one should take him seriously. His church should -- wait, he's southern baptist? The "we're going to split off because we want slavery" sect? Not surprising. Those assholes suck.
This. The whole framing needs to be pushed back against.

Healthcare is just a way to coerce the working class to produce value for the wealthy. That is the real reason why there is no universal healthcare in America.

He talked about monitoring his sons porn viewing history I think.

This guy unfortunately and unironically exists and likely has more power than anybody on the fediverse.

Ah, yes, because I don't need money for rent and food, just healthcare.
What a moron.

Ah yes, young men. That notoriously healthcare obsesses group of individuals that do all they can to drain the system of all its funding. That's the problem.
It's a shame people actually fall for blatant lies like this.

I'd love to play some video games, anyone know where I can find some of this free healthcare?

But where's the free healthcare?
He's probably (attempting) to reference welfare .... essentially trying to justify work requirements for it

Don't do this... But that's what he means.
Sell drugs or have a hustle on the side and get more money. /S
It's the same game from the street to the big businesses. Big businesses and rich people just make charities and get offshore bank accounts to rape our economy.
