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.

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.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is this free healthcare you speak of in the room with us right now?

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Thrillhouse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We still have widespread disengagement in Canada too because the problem isn’t the healthcare.

The problem is wage suppression and corporate greed.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And rich people don’t have jobs because they mooch off poor people.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Free Healthcare ? In Amerikkka ?

Since when ?

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is rich coming from someone that has literally never worked a days labor in their lives.

Young men as a cohort have a 90% employment rate.

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where can I get this free healtcare that pays your rent?

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

By getting elected to Senate or Congress

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So us person here. This free healthcare he speaks of is news to me.

[–] Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

He gets free govt Healthcare and probably stays at home playing video games. It's all projection.

how do i leech off of free healthcare that sounds really good

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Get elected to the US Congress. They don't do anything and get 6 figure salaries AND free Healthcare!

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Become a congressperson, they get Medicare for life just like every other citizen should have but don't because Congress will grant it to themselves but not everyone else. If it's good enough for them it should be good enough to cover us.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You gotta be fucking kidding me. What sort of disconnected boomer statement is that!?

I hate using such terms as "boomer", but how else am I going to describe this?

I'm in Denmark, and I can just about get by on one job. I have friends from America struggling to make ends meet, and they're working TWO jobs!

So the fuck is this guy talking about!?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hey look, an "elite" with absolutely no concept of how actual reality works, who's just trying to stir up a base consisting of people with IQs smaller than their shoe size.

I promise you, if I could stay home all day and play video games by somehow using free healthcare, I'd be doing it.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He knows this is false. It's bait, that even i see this time. There really is nothing to see here

  • No job, grind away the entire waking day with a low paying zero hours contract while filing job applications, No videogames, no relaxation, more stress, costs healthcare providers more

  • No job, spend some of the day working while filing job applications, Yes Videogames, relaxation, lower stress, costs healthcare providers less

Yet another case where if the politician seriously thought about the issue for just half a minute they'd realise their attitude makes no sense.

Says republican who has access to healthcare.
