    Pretty rich coming from a guy who lets trump take every power congress is supposed to hold. WTF does he even do at work? If we stopped paying him, would anything at all happen? Every republican seems like a whiny crybullying grifter to me.

    The amount of dirty looks I got today casually playing slay the spire on my steam deck as a 41 year old man in the waiting room of a medical facility was pretty impressive.

        It’s so sweet. I am bad at consoles and haven’t owned one since Sonic made his debut but this thing rocks.

  • Theres nowhere in the country that has legitimate free healthcare, and only a small handful of states that have healthcare for those below the poverty line.

    Where are these supposed young people just living it up off free healthcare?

    My brother I am going to find every outlet of escapism possible to cope with the reality that your generation had a massive part in creating. Sorry 💅

    Putting aside the, “Everyone but an idiot knows the poor must be kept poor, or they will never be productive” logic, it’s also just dumb as shit to claim that “able-bodied young men” are going to be super motivated to get off the couch for the sake of health insurance - not even real healthcare, we’re talking about paying hundreds of dollars a month so that if you get sick you can “only” be saddled with a very high deductible.

    I fucking hate these people’s guts. Something something Luigi’s Mansion.

    I would prefer to work a job than to grind in a videogame. Unfortunately, Americans live in a nation where bad working conditions, low pay, heavy competition, instability, and ghost jobs makes job seeking unpalatable.

    American capitalism is a cancer.

        True. Even the Nordic Model nations are backsliding from what I hear. It is why I think that we need to try an wholly artificial economic system, with rules and principles. Similar to a Constitution’s framework, but focused on providing for the wellbeing of all citizens.

    You gotta be fucking kidding me. What sort of disconnected boomer statement is that!?

    I hate using such terms as “boomer”, but how else am I going to describe this?

    I’m in Denmark, and I can just about get by on one job. I have friends from America struggling to make ends meet, and they’re working TWO jobs!

    So the fuck is this guy talking about!?

      They’re close to saying the quiet part out loud here. The reason (one of them) universal healthcare gets so much pushback is because an employer provided healthcare is a major way to keep the working class in their place.

      I know so many people who have stayed in shitty abusive jobs because they can’t lose the healthcare. Imagine if people could fuck off and decide to live a less resource intensive life? Would be terrible for the economy.

      I’m pissed at the state of healthcare health business in this (u.s.) country, and I think you should be too!

        Theres people that was scared of losing their jobs that they didnt disobey managment and leave the factory before it was washed away in the helene floods… many died. But dont worry, the family got a $100 walmart giftcard for compensation…

    this dude and his son monitor each other’s devices to make sure they don’t consume porn. i don’t think he should be allowed to talk about literally anyone else’s habits.

      Become a congressperson, they get Medicare for life just like every other citizen should have but don’t because Congress will grant it to themselves but not everyone else. If it’s good enough for them it should be good enough to cover us.
