To justify Medicaid cuts, House Speaker Mike Johnson says the healthcare program leads to "able-bodied young men" playing videogames instead of working.
People are checking out because the middle class is non-existent. It doesn’t matter how hard you work - the the prospect of getting ahead, owning a home, retirement is out of reach for the vast majority of people.
People can work hard and stress themselves out or they can check out of the system and achieve largely the same result.
This is about the failures of late stage capitalism. To claim the issue is free healthcare is gaslighting.
“Middle class” IS working class. It’s a false distinction that only serves to undermine our only tool against the ruling class, class solidarity. (I think we’re kind of saying the same thing.)
Free healthcare doesn’t pay rent or utilities. I would love to stay at home and play video games regardless of my healthcare status, but I simply couldn’t afford to.
Didn’t you know sex is bad? It’s absolutely reprehensible and the only allowable exception is for the purposes of procreation, where you are allowed only to use the missionary position and your lawfully wedded wife is to be completely obscured by a blanket covering her entire body apart from a small hole in her crotch area. You can not look down or touch her body with your hands at any point, you should be reciting prayer the entire time and preferably keep one hand on the Bible during the whole process.
All other ways to engage with sexual acts and sexuality are unnatural, ungodly and frankly disgusting.
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.

He knows this is false. It’s bait, that even i see this time. There really is nothing to see here
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 💅
And rich people don’t have jobs because they mooch off poor people.
Hypocrisy at its finest.

Time for another round of:
“Turn on, tune in, drop out.”
Waaaay ahead of ya haha
“Middle class” contrasts with “upper class” and “lower class”, not with “ruling class” and “working class”; it’s the wrong perspective.
It may be today, but a strong middle class is what placates the working class. Give em something to shoot for so they won’t shoot you.

Lyin’ Mike at it again
Shits all fucked up my guy
Oh sweet i didn’t realize my healthcare covered video games

It must be really nice to live in a world where your own idiotic opinions don’t lead to any meaningful consequences for yourself.
People turning to escapism because the world is shit?
FUCK THAT LET’S MAKE IT WORSE THEN.
I’m flabbergasted

The lord needs to help these people. They’re cooked.
Is this free healthcare you speak of in the room with us right now?
Is he mad that young adults can stay on their parents’ health plan until age 26?
Which the parents pay for… They just don’t know what words mean anymore.
Please tell me more about this free healthcare
So us person here. This free healthcare he speaks of is news to me.
He gets free govt Healthcare and probably stays at home playing video games. It’s all projection.
With fascists every accusation is an admission
