    This is just the “violent video games make people violent” argument from the 90s and 00s. Fear mongering at its core.

    The argument is utterly stupid.

    Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.

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

    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?

    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.

    The problem is that voters are so damn stupid that someone can make a statement like this without being interrogated.

      Seriously. I’d love some free healthcare.

      I’d probably be able to be more functional if I had proper healthcare.

      This whole thing of “Free healthcare = leeches” is fucking insulting.

    Young men have no idea what health care is, nor do they care.

    They are healthy and heal fast.

    They are the ones who traditionally pay in and dont take out.

      As someone who is 25 I must agree, not only do I not give a damn I actively welcome death. Shitty fucken eyesight not withstanding, I think there’s thinner ballistic glass

    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.
