“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.
If the US feels like it needs more workers they should try restoring the social contract
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)
Hypothesis: Men are leeching government funds and playing video games all day
Proof: Man with government contracts playing POE on plane
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.
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.
What’s the point of fighting for freedom if my free time is still dictated by the government?
Mike Johnson has a very cab forward face. (Look it up, it was a thing.)
Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!
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.
maybe try paying a living wage first.
From time to time the ruling class has to be reminded that, as the bigger of the two classes, the working class could just eat them and start over. If we’re not content with the system, we can change it anytime we like. We’ll start by trying to get change by ballot box, but if you close that door for us, if you force us too… we absolutely can get change by guillotine.
