Yes, that's why they're at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I'm sure they'd get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.

I'd love to play some video games, anyone know where I can find some of this free healthcare?

First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.

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.

Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.

How's your son's dick today, Mike Johnson? You have the app that tells you, so if you wouldn't mind...

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?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Also where the fuck is this free healthcare?

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.

[-] Pulsar@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Healthcare is just a way to coerce the working class to produce value for the wealthy. That is the real reason why there is no universal healthcare in America.

[-] 100@fedia.io 17 points 2 weeks ago

the rich siphoning money for themselves is infinitely more damaging than anything else

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

The same old "welfare queen" argument again.

Can these monsters please just fuck off!

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, I can get free healthcare playing video games? Where?!?

[-] kerrigan778 9 points 2 weeks ago

Much of the world outside the US

[-] Coskii 15 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, young men. That notoriously healthcare obsesses group of individuals that do all they can to drain the system of all its funding. That's the problem.

It's a shame people actually fall for blatant lies like this.

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

What about all of those congress critters that get that big bad "socialized medicine" that the common people can't (funny how it is fine when it is for them isn't it.)? I bet that costs a shit ton given the average age of congress critters. How about we make some cuts there?

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

how the fuck do i do this it sounds awesome

[-] Star 15 points 2 weeks ago

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.

I only play computer games after I get home from working hard all day.

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 15 points 2 weeks ago

Y'all got free healthcare?

[-] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 weeks ago

He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That's how far removed they are.

[-] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, yes, because I don't need money for rent and food, just healthcare.

What a moron.

[-] JIMMERZ@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Where is this free healthcare? Because I'm paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.

Why would anyone want to waste their life working for any of these exploitive cunts. I’d much rather play video games.

[-] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Is this the one who gets his son to monitor whether he's masturbating or not? Or is that some other guy?

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Just in case you forgot, getting rid of video games is part of Project 2025. Republicans have had a vendetta against them since Mortal Kombat came out in the arcades back in the 90s. And in some ways they have been against them since their very inception with Pong and Tetris.

Oooh, I'm one of those! Gaming on foodstamps and social health in a US state, AMA.

[-] match@pawb.social 13 points 2 weeks ago

How does it feel being rich???

[-] dzsimbo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Truly wonderful.

You need the gaming in this lifestyle to help divert attention from not being able to get comfort foods at month's end.

Otherwise it leaves me all the time to realize the physical and mental hells I am putting myself through. I've been qualified for free health care for over a year, but I just arrived to the point where I can reach out and engage the system. I initially thought enrolling would come in handy if I get into an accident, but last week I made the call to start preventive treatments.

I have an appointment with an actual doctor next month. I am also getting the ball rolling on the emotional side. I was contemplating moving back home, but now I might give this current iteration some more time.

edit: i just reread the title (of course I didn't read the article); I'm 40.

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 11 points 2 weeks ago

No that is what billionaires do mooch off the tax payer.

[-] potatoguy@potato-guy.space 11 points 2 weeks ago

Luigi killed the CEO on call of duty, makes sense

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Someone so disconnected with reality should not represent anyone.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

So basically, they are mooching off of free healthcare - by performing by one of the most risk free activities that is almost going to guarantee they won't need healthcare in the first place?

MAGA tactic:

Take negative stereotype, say it is preventing a desirable goal from being reached, then say it is because of what you are actually trying to cut. Doesn't matter if they barely have any real relation to each other.

[-] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.
