“Return the dignity of work to young men who need to be at work instead of playing video games all day.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Republican efforts to attach work requirements to Medicaid, suggesting that young American men are wasting their lives “playing video games all day” instead of working.
Johnson’s remarks came as House Republicans pushed forward a budget framework that would help finance President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, with plans to slash federal spending by trillions. GOP leaders are eyeing $880 billion in reductions to Medicaid, a move critics warn could gut health coverage for millions of low-income Americans.
Hypothesis: Men are leeching government funds and playing video games all day
Proof: Man with government contracts playing POE on plane
How about we all spend 20 hours a week doing actually important jobs, not 40 hours on frivolous bullshit jobs?
Problem is there are way more people than there are “important jobs”
That’s why you reduce the number of hours.
What’s the point of fighting for freedom if my free time is still dictated by the government?
I have an idea, mike. How about you stop trying to tell people what to do in their lives and trying doing your fucking job? Parasite.
maybe try paying a living wage first.
If the US feels like it needs more workers they should try restoring the social contract
Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!
Fuck you

As always, what’s not said is often more telling that what is.
He values women so little that he doesn’t even consider their contribution worthwhile enough to mention. It’s fine for them to waste their time playing games all day. (Or he doesn’t think women don’t play games, which is just as poor)
As a gamer, I believe the appropriate response is, “Suck my dick fag Johnson, your mom’s a cum guzzling whore draining the resources of my balls.”
Or something to that effect.
They messed with gamers.
Gamers.
It’s unfortunate how many self-described “gamers” voted this entire thing in because they hate women and hate accountability and hate responsibility.

“My dad works for Microsoft!!”
Only a seasoned Xbox Live veteran could phrase that eloquently.
Then treat workers with dignity you asshat. Pay them well, give them the days off they need, give them a retirement to look forward to, health care, respect their time off, and STFU about what they do on their time off even if it’s just playing video games.
‘They’re Draining Resources’
“Building new power plants and taking all the water just to service broligarchs’ AI businesses is fine, though.”
I hate that a little worm like this shithead has any power whatsoever.
This weird little freak can go fuck himself.
He’s a waste of air
The labor force participation rate for men ages 25-54 is approximately 90%.
Who the hell is he talking about? We’re all working already

Children. That’s why they’re eroding child labor laws.
They call 13 year old girls “young women,” so it stands to reason that they’re talking about getting teenage boys into the workforce for minimum wage here, yeah.
I believe you mistyped “military-aged males”
He wants you to work more for less pay to make more money for the people he actually represents.
Just classic republican nonsense. Bitching about things that don’t exist. But they blast it all over, so people believe it.
