They’re not refusing to work, dipshit. You’re not hiring.
Everyone wants to work, it’s the single most popular activity in all of human history. Unemployed people are people who are muscled out of the economy because the pork aren’t hiring? Why hire when all the work is getting done?
Besides, maybe we just want to be more like porky. Be a lazy fuck who wants to twiddle their thumbs all day. If porky hates to hire and wants his business to stay microscopic. Then why the fuck should poor people hand out labor solely because “it’s the right thing to do”.
If porky is our god, why should we not take porky’s logic and always obsess over getting the best deal possible regardless of who’s getting soaked? Nice superstructure you made, piggo. Enjoy your consequences you disgusting pig.
I would work to better myself and the rest of humanity, but maybe I’m just built different.
if porky’s job is “job creator” then he’s doing a real shit job and we should fire him
Fire him out of a giant gun, right?
Yeah we should fire at him
I wish somebody would combine this with the dark souls “You Died” screen
Or the GTA “Wasted”
Fucking lmao thank you!
I don’t want to work
Everyone wants to work
I could find other things to fill my day with tbh
If none of them are in any way productive you’ll almost certainly get bored sooner or later. People like doing things that matter. Work doesn’t have to mean a job!
I’m built different
Let’s go fishing
Fishing is work
You ruined the bait
There’s also the fact so many employers don’t want to have people employed enough to require them to provide it as an option.
How many workers simply don’t qualify because they don’t get enough hours to qualify as full time?
Sociopathic self interest for me, protestant work ethic for thee.
you don’t believe in free healthcare for people who work either so fuck off Mike
Politicians should lose access to all of their prior assets, receive only minimum wage, and be given only the benefits that are available to the unemployed for the time they’re in office.
My take is that they should lose access to their assets, get a nominal wage plus housing/their needs tended to, and after they retire be given a pension and never allowed to take up other employment, including accepting fees for public speaking etc.
Being offered a sinecure position after they stop working as a politician is, I think, a major form of bribery.
What about public sinecure positions for electeds who leave office?
Make them a train station manager or postmaster. Once you’re in a public job position, the government will employ you til you hit 62 and get your pension.
Also a decent option!
It would mean that the only people who could afford to be politicians would be capitalists and their hirelings.
That’s already the result, though.
How will this be enforced? Can’t even take the president’s shitty hotels, how will you enforce this for tens of thousands of people?
Oh I know, since the people currently in office have no reason to change the system that benefits them, it’d have to be post-revolution at which point it doesn’t matter anyway.
Which in a way is kinda the point. If one were a liberal who wanted to get rid of corruption in the current system, they’d have to push for something like this, which would be seen as outlandish.
You should also apply for the “I hope whatever kills me isn’t too painful” rider to your “I hope I don’t get sick” healthcare plan.
intense pain -> want to die -> pain too intense to go die

I don’t think he had any idea what to do with those responses. He just ends with “I don’t think the majority of Nebraskans agree with you” as if the whole room didn’t just shout him down twice.
god i hate twitter comments
It’s wild to see how much open nazism is everywhere on twitter now. Feels like every twitter link should be followed up with a
What part of “everybody should have access to free healthcare” are you not understanding Mike?
The fact that I’m surprised by the audience’s reaction means this country has been and is beyond saving
This is a bit surprising, but free healthcare is pretty popular even among Republicans. It’s one of the strongest examples of issues where it’s literally just the politicians refusing to do a popular thing.
dictatorship of the bourgeoisie moment
Every time I think about free health care, I think about how much of a pipe dream it really is. Each year at open enrollment, you can clearly see all of the different industries that are propping this shit up AS WELL AS the many different shadowy consultant-type positions branching out from the pharmaceutical, insurance and care industry. We are so fucking cooked
I’m very much convinced that the world would be a better place if every single pharmacy benefit manager dropped off the face of the earth somehow.
Gonna start selling pitchforks and torches outside of these things.
Haha
