Someone so disconnected with reality should not represent anyone.

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?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Also where the fuck is this free healthcare?

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago

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.

There was a billionaire, CEO to multiple companies, arguing that he’s one of the best in one of the most grindiest games…

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

They'll just keep turning the screws tighter if you let them.

Don't listen to their lies.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

Y'all got free healthcare?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.

[–] dzsimbo 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How does it feel being rich???

[–] dzsimbo 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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.

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

Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

how the fuck do i do this it sounds awesome

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.
