What's an enormous brain he has, it's amazing that it fits in his itty bitty head.
So living in the UK which has free healthcare I can tell everybody that it's super easy to do this.
Obviously I don't have a job so I can't afford food, so I just starve myself until I nearly die, and then the NHS turn up and put me in one of those pokeball rehabilitation things and I'm good to go.
I'd love to play some video games, anyone know where I can find some of this free healthcare?

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.
First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.
What free healthcare?
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.
How's your son's dick today, Mike Johnson? You have the app that tells you, so if you wouldn't mind...

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

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?
Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.
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.
The same old "welfare queen" argument again.
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.
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?
how the fuck do i do this it sounds awesome
Ah, yes, because I don't need money for rent and food, just healthcare.
What a moron.
Y'all got free healthcare?
Can these monsters please just fuck off!
I only play computer games after I get home from working hard all day.
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.

He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That's how far removed they are.
Where is this free healthcare? Because I'm paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.
Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.
Is this the one who gets his son to monitor whether he's masturbating or not? Or is that some other guy?
Why would anyone want to waste their life working for any of these exploitive cunts. I’d much rather play video games.
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.

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.
