      The problem is that voters are so damn stupid that someone can make a statement like this without being interrogated.

        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.

        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

          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.

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

                    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.

                        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.

                          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.
