How about do literally fucking anything to make it possible to work in exchange for a living wage, huh? I hope these fascists get sent to concentration camps themselves in the end they fucking deserve it, unlike the Jews did.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I hate that a little worm like this shithead has any power whatsoever.
This weird little freak can go fuck himself.
Fuck you
keeps playing
If the US feels like it needs more workers they should try restoring the social contract
Mike Johnson has a very cab forward face. (Look it up, it was a thing.)
Stop selling iPhones ...
Then treat workers with dignity you asshat. Pay them well, give them the days off they need, give them a retirement to look forward to, health care, respect their time off, and STFU about what they do on their time off even if it’s just playing video games.
As always, what's not said is often more telling that what is.
He values women so little that he doesn't even consider their contribution worthwhile enough to mention. It's fine for them to waste their time playing games all day. (Or he doesn't think women don't play games, which is just as poor)
I have an idea, mike. How about you stop trying to tell people what to do in their lives and trying doing your fucking job? Parasite.
Hypothesis: Men are leeching government funds and playing video games all day
Proof: Man with government contracts playing POE on plane
Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!
What's the point of fighting for freedom if my free time is still dictated by the government?
From time to time the ruling class has to be reminded that, as the bigger of the two classes, the working class could just eat them and start over. If we're not content with the system, we can change it anytime we like. We'll start by trying to get change by ballot box, but if you close that door for us, if you force us too... we absolutely can get change by guillotine.

The day Mike quits his cushy job as house speaker and goes to work in the mines is the day I'll join him there
maybe try paying a living wage first.
How about we all spend 20 hours a week doing actually important jobs, not 40 hours on frivolous bullshit jobs?
Problem is there are way more people than there are "important jobs"
That's why you reduce the number of hours.
They need to get back to sharing their porn playlist with their kids like good decent American folks.
He's a waste of air
'They're Draining Resources'
"Building new power plants and taking all the water just to service broligarchs' AI businesses is fine, though."
The US has the lowest unemployment rate in history. Who he fuck has time to play games?!
I like to look at the employment population ratio of those 25-54. We don't need to count college kids, and we don't need to count retired folk. This is a nice, easy measure that doesn't need many judgement calls on who has a job and who wants a job.

And yup, it's as close to the high as it ever was.
I usually fall asleep 15 mins into playing because corporate America drains my resources 40+ hours a week.
Hes totally a drain on Oxygen ressources. He should stop using it.
Hey now, the reason I game so much is cause I have insomnia. I go to work!
Couldn't you get some kind of medication to help with that from our wonderful healthcare system . . . ah, yes, I see the problem now.
If you are interested in video games, mental health and the current moral panic about it from an actual scientific perspective... from a scientist who is also a life long fan of video games... and understands them beyond "is too much video game bad?" check out the youtube channel Psychgeist, in particular this recent video.

If Mike Johnson gave a shit about young men, he would be terrified by the speed that mobile phone gambling, especially but not limited to sports gambling is tearing through and destroying the lives of young men in the U.S. I mean, everyone is suffering from it but demographically the whole industry seems aimed at young men.
Fuck you Mike Johnson, video games are art and you don't understand art because you are a boring-creepy ass fascist.
Let me say this emphatically, if you are out there playing video games and not really wanting to go through the hellish process of applying to jobs in the U.S. and decide to play an extremely good video game that is both mentally challenging and also a vehicle for socialization and making friends.... good. The rules of capitalism were supposed to be that if the pay and conditions you are offering employees isn't sufficient vs. the required amount of labor and time, you need to sweeten the deal as the employer, that is how bargaining works?? The fact that people like Mike Johnson always return to this rhetoric the minute the "wisdom of the market" turns not in favor of the rich tells you everything you need to know about Mike Johnson and his ilk.

Makes me think of Bukowski's 'The Genius of the Crowd'...this part particularly;
"...but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world"
As a gamer, I believe the appropriate response is, "Suck my dick fag Johnson, your mom's a cum guzzling whore draining the resources of my balls."
Or something to that effect.
"My dad works for Microsoft!!"
They messed with gamers.
Gamers.
Only a seasoned Xbox Live veteran could phrase that eloquently.
It's unfortunate how many self-described "gamers" voted this entire thing in because they hate women and hate accountability and hate responsibility.
This must be a sign from God that I need to pursue the American dream of monetized game streaming.
They targeted gamers.
