They are finally going after the most oppressed minority!

What are you going to do after all this is over, and it's either even harder to get or just completely gone? Im sorry you have to go through any of this...
No idea, I have a good support structure, so I'm probably not completely fucked if/when it comes down to it. Also my doctor has implied he has some way of helping, should the shit hit the fan, not sure what that could possibly entail though.

Is this a reference to something in particular or just picking a random shitty disease?
wrote last edited by [email protected]It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.
So, it would be a curse on multiple levels!

Man collecting handsome salary and amazing healthcare in exchange for betraying his entire country tries to shift the public focus onto people trying to make their lives less miserable with video games.

Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.

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.

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.
In Québec we all own a state mandated PS5 (no Xbox's allowed, that would be illegal) and play a variety of Fifa, Marvel Heroes and Valorant because it's said to sharpen our skills and better society. Many women knock on my door saying they want me to grant them children, but knowing that my KDA might suffer from their demands I know not to give in, and to instead keep grinding until my next government granted dialysis appointment. Mon dieu que j'aime le Québec

Yeah just get disabled, unable to work, and get ssi, then all the free health care. Just have to live with being disabled and not really able to do much, and being poor and hoping that the government doesn't turn off your ssi cuase it will save them money.
Also, unless you've got a way to pay rent or a house you own, good luck getting on housing assistance. Most cities have a waiting list months or years long - I know last time I had to look into it for myself, it was something like 15 months of waiting for a potential open slot anywhere in the city.

Took two years, much faster than when I waited five years for ssi.

I've been on the waiting list for my PS5 for the past four years. Just like my family doctor.

Does getting health care mean leaving your basement?
If so, young men aren’t doing it.
Hell, I leave my basement frequently and don’t want to get health care because I’m sure it will bankrupt me.
If someone callled me an ambulance I’d fight them because I don’t have ambulance money.
Can confirm. I dont leave my basement or get healthcare.

Or, what if their healthcare continued to be free so they wouldn't have an incentive to find a way to live on $700 month?
I know one of those young men playing video games, and he REALLY wants a job, but no matter how he works the math, the medication that keeps him alive costs more than what he'd make. So, his only choice is to budget around permanent poverty or die.
They'd have to have free healthcare in the first place...

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.

As an Aussie who has always enjoyed playing (and making) games, I've had free healthcare all my life and have only worked my arse off.. Like most people I know.
*Used to get free healthcare.
Dunno how it is where you are, but bulk billing GPs just don't exist anymore in SA.
