I make $90k/yr, we do not have healthcare because we can’t afford it.

That turd pretends to believe if you work a job for over a year you will no longer be poor.
ballsoutflyer
Get a GED he says. Does he live in the 1960's?
RenaissanceFaireMan
What about the people that did graduate high school and have had a job for over a year and STILL can't afford health care?!

Once upon a time a high school diploma could get you a good paying job.

Are you a futurama sleeper?
Anonanimal3000
I've been falling asleep to rewatching futurama lately. Does that make me a futurama sleeper?
polkadotzebra13
Yep! There’s dozens of us haha I think there’s a whole subreddit
Anonanimal3000
Oh awesome. Currently in season 7. Its excellent to just listen to as I fall asleep. Some episodes require being awake, e.g. jurassic bark.
SmashySashimi
Futurama? Yes. Sleep? I’m only vaguely familiar with that word.

This guy and Paris Hilton would get along great.

I have a joke about trickle-down economics, but 99% of you won't get it.
Bystandr
So,has anyone calculated THE COST OF LETTING PEOPLE LANGUISH DUE TO BEING POOR ? Because I bet once you factor in that sick people dont work
Bystandr
work as much or pay as much in taxes, there is an amount that might be saved by creating affordable care? I mean, just maybe. Or is it
Bystandr
really just that he finds killing people so a few people can profit to be the more desirable scenario?
Bystandr
*Also how about productivity wasted by family and friends caring for them?
Stigl
That's actually a really good point, poverty is mostly caused by not having any money, that's why the government should provide the money :)

At some point those corporations will be calling the poor terrorists for being unable to affort healthcare claiming its an american duty.

China abolished poverty, its been official for years/s

Apparently The only poor people are those who don't have a high school level education. Good to know.
icounttopotato
Fun fact: 8% of the population have IQs so low they are considered unemployable. This guy ranks below that somehow.
gumblemuntz
Yet, somehow, my employer keeps finding and hiring them...

Don't worry, Goodwill will be more than happy to swoop in and pay them less than a dollar an hour

so, hes ripe for a high level job in politics?

8%? Seems pretty low. There's a lot more trump supporters than that.

Sadly, several of them do still have some profitable skills. Critical thinking just isn't one of them
GuestChrist
Funny thing is that he didn't get canned for what he said, he was fired for going on the show and making his employer look bad.
jimbox114
Funny that people who go to college still can't afford health insurance. If a person works they should have affordable healthcare period!
smokeyfantastico
I love how they just automatically assume if you're poor you don't even have a GED/high school diploma. Like that's all it takes to get rich
STEVIERAYK
I automatically think that about republicans but that they flunked their GED test.
Misora
I have 3 degrees. I'm definitely not poor but I also can't afford to buy a house because anything <$300k is bought by investors for rentals.
Subutia
So many of them get jobs from their fathers, they don't understand how come anybody can't get a 6 figure job out of high school.
TheMouseOfMadness
Long ago that was the line between a good paying job and a shitty one, then it became a college diploma, now that won't even save you.
PhurbuMukpodom
Yup. My Assistant has an MBA and I’m working on my 2nd masters now just to break into middle management.
TheMouseOfMadness
so he thinks he's actually giving valid advice, it's just 30-40 years out of date
SkeletonsLoveBooty
40 years ago was 1981. A HS diploma would get you a job but not a good one.
Bumpkin76
Or that you’re lazy.

My favorite part of this is the inverse assumption: Everyone who is mega-rich must have gotten there via superhuman work ethics.

This. All day this. Just ask them. They’ve worked soooooo hard. It’s only fair.

I know a guy who went to law school and lost his job during the pandemic. It’s not the same as it used to be
SonOfAMia
I'm currently getting my Masters and I'm super poor.
certainlynotaserialkiller
yes, he actually said that. and yes, he got his ass fired
lildude52ca
is there a link to the video?
iLikeToLookAtFunnyPictures
But is he poor?
pareidoliaperson
From over the pond: thanks for the answer before I had to ask.
rbudrick
Only because he said the quiet part out loud. Not that his superiors didn't agree.
Whowhywhatwhere
That second part made me happy
Notfunnycommenter
Good thing that superhuman work ethic will keep him afloat

Wait hold on. Ambiguous pronouns. Which one of them said that, and which one got fired?

Adato88
Fired for “Mocking the 1%” well that’s a strange take on his responses! I Will have to watch that interview to see what I’m missing!
HellaPictureSeeing
Or they just thought the 1% was referring to how much wealth the 99% had but that's a fucking mathematical reach buddy
HellaPictureSeeing
His boss was like, "ya cant fucken talk about the secret to being rich" implying not being poor was the trick
Gababu
Wait until he finds out what the fractions been up to.
grandestgrandeur
2015. ffs we have still not learned anything. At this point, we need MASSIVE changes or just burn it down and start fresh.

He must not work for the government, they don't get fired for saying stupid shit
