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?
How do you not work and still have money for the Xbox subscription and steam sales?
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.
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” 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.
“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.)

Time for another round of:
“Turn on, tune in, drop out.”
Waaaay ahead of ya haha
Lyin’ Mike at it again
Where can I get this free healtcare that pays your rent?
By getting elected to Senate or Congress
Meanwhile: Politicians who never had a day of honest work their entire life.
Where are they getting free healthcare from? I’d like it. Oh does Canada have this problem? No? Huh
We still have widespread disengagement in Canada too because the problem isn’t the healthcare.
The problem is wage suppression and corporate greed.
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.
Health care is a human right
Where are they getting the money for the games? Those are expensive as shit, I’m still making do with games I bought decades ago because I can’t afford new ones.
How are they eating? Food is fucking expensive, are they getting free food as well?
How are they paying rent? Have to have a roof over your head and electricity in your walls to play video games all day.
This mother fucker thinks all guys are like his son, lazy mother fuckers mooching off their parents. What a dumb, ignorant moron.
I think he might be speaking about 16 year old boys. He seems mad that they’re children instead of working father’s.
Shits all fucked up my guy
Sure. Let’s just pretend video games are free. And so is healthcare.
The lord needs to help these people. They’re cooked.
I’m flabbergasted
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.
Just a normal US politician. They lost all connection to reality ages ago. Take his ID papers away and let him survive on minimum wage jobs somewhere where nobody knows his sorry face.
Since I am not from the us or ever been there, I do have a question: are there people that truly believe in this bullshit?
Yes, but they get there “backwards”.
It’s not like they believe healthcare is inherently demotivating, it’s that they’re already Red Team members, and “Healthcare and welfare breed moochers” is a Red Team belief, and since they’re good Red Team members, they synthesize it into their belief system–despite the fact functionally no one rips off the healthcare system because, frankly, you have to have some kind of pathology to visit a doctor enough for fraud to be an issue.
I mean “Oh noes, they’re ripping off the healthcare systems by… (checks notes) …getting antibiotics for their earache!!” is not a thing. Ever.
Everyone, even in countries with socialized medicine, avoids interactions with the healthcare system until they need to. I mean, do you you really want to recreationally get your throat swabbed? I’m sure there’s four people on this planet of nine billion who get off on that, but that’s it.
Now, rich people, they come to this believe authentically. They hate public healthcare because a) they have to pay for it, and b) it’s one less piece of leverage they have to keep people shackled to work. But make no mistake, they also suffer from the delusion, above.
The answer is about half of them do and the other half don’t and are there to fleece the first half. You see the same pattern with priests, where some of them are true believers and the rest are just there to devour the flock.
In a crowd of 200 people, you are nearly guaranteed to have a sociopath without any kind of conscience. These people are more or less like sharks and move around and devour those around them without a second thought. It’s a shame, because they are often the limiting factor to scaling any kind of human organization.
So many of the rules and restrictions we have today are due to these people, and sadly, it’s just part of the human condition.
