And? What's the problem with that? In an ideal society with present technology we can afford to feed and house literally everyone. Let artificial scarcity rule you no longer. Let the people play games, and when 'work'is no longer, the obligation of wages they wil do it willingly, happily, and with enjoyment. Or at least wnough of us will to feed all.
So what if some get fed more than they work? I like helping people. We should have plenty to spare without the parasite class.
That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of their young men spend every waking hour playing video games.
I pay $60 (or whatever), pay for my data connection, and get to play my game literally for years. It’s one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around. I get tons of value out of my purchase, it reduces stress, I get a sense of challenge out of it, and for the amount I spent I get a lot pf return.
Now if only health care were free. That’s just a bullshit statement and not even worth responding to. That said, In its current state it’s the opposite of video games. It’s expensive. The amount you put in is often not what you get out. It’s stressful.
Maybe the only way it’s like games is that someone can pull the plug on you when it’s not profitable anymore.
the population of young men who do nothing all day, have no interest in employment, but are also extremely motivated to apply for and maintain their access to healthcare and make regular doctor appointments
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.
Newsmedia that repeat blatantly pro-fash talking points as headline grist, are complicit
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.
The jobs do exist, and I'm pretty sure the young men are working them, but the jobs also kinda suck.
the rich siphoning money for themselves is infinitely more damaging than anything else
how the fuck do i do this it sounds awesome
Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.
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.
Luigi killed the CEO on call of duty, makes sense
But then aren't people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?
Mooch on guys!
They are finally going after the most oppressed minority!
So time to remove the free healthcare benefits from this congress member
Lmao.
What a joke.
Mike, just cause you're a shit parent who can't talk to his kid, doesn't mean you gotta make the rest of us suffer.
Yeah you don't need to buy food, only healthcare.
Cool. Until there is no more profit and no more billionaires, there should be no labor and free healthcare.
He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That's how far removed they are.
Everyone who lives here plays video games all day and our healthcare isn't even completely free, the burden is just shared by nationalization. Video games are such a menace to society!
Lol. I have free healthcare and I played videogames every fucking chance I get because it makes me happy, but it's pretty rare since I worked 278 hours in May.
What free healthcare because it sounds like I've been fucking doing it wrong this whole time holding down job after SHITTY job since I graduated high school and don't have shit to show for it. Fuck all the way off attacking the one thing that brings joy to my life you disingenuous piece of shit.
