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)
Mike Johnson has a very cab forward face. (Look it up, it was a thing.)
Stop selling iPhones ...
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?
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.
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.
Soap Box
Ballot Box
>>We're probably here<<
Ammo box
maybe try paying a living wage first.
The day Mike quits his cushy job as house speaker and goes to work in the mines is the day I'll join him there
They need to get back to sharing their porn playlist with their kids like good decent American folks.
He's a waste of air
'They're Draining Resources'
"Building new power plants and taking all the water just to service broligarchs' AI businesses is fine, though."
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.
"My dad works for Microsoft!!"
They messed with gamers.
Gamers.
Only a seasoned Xbox Live veteran could phrase that eloquently.
It's unfortunate how many self-described "gamers" voted this entire thing in because they hate women and hate accountability and hate responsibility.
If you are interested in video games, mental health and the current moral panic about it from an actual scientific perspective... from a scientist who is also a life long fan of video games... and understands them beyond "is too much video game bad?" check out the youtube channel Psychgeist, in particular this recent video.

If Mike Johnson gave a shit about young men, he would be terrified by the speed that mobile phone gambling, especially but not limited to sports gambling is tearing through and destroying the lives of young men in the U.S. I mean, everyone is suffering from it but demographically the whole industry seems aimed at young men.
Fuck you Mike Johnson, video games are art and you don't understand art because you are a boring-creepy ass fascist.
Let me say this emphatically, if you are out there playing video games and not really wanting to go through the hellish process of applying to jobs in the U.S. and decide to play an extremely good video game that is both mentally challenging and also a vehicle for socialization and making friends.... good. The rules of capitalism were supposed to be that if the pay and conditions you are offering employees isn't sufficient vs. the required amount of labor and time, you need to sweeten the deal as the employer, that is how bargaining works?? The fact that people like Mike Johnson always return to this rhetoric the minute the "wisdom of the market" turns not in favor of the rich tells you everything you need to know about Mike Johnson and his ilk.

The US has the lowest unemployment rate in history. Who he fuck has time to play games?!
I like to look at the employment population ratio of those 25-54. We don't need to count college kids, and we don't need to count retired folk. This is a nice, easy measure that doesn't need many judgement calls on who has a job and who wants a job.

And yup, it's as close to the high as it ever was.
I usually fall asleep 15 mins into playing because corporate America drains my resources 40+ hours a week.
says guy who's job is literally nothing more than draining resources. go fuck yourself cuntface.
Men should stop wasting their time on nonsense like religion. Grow up. You can't leave your life based on a fairy tale.
That's funny. Last I checked, I'm not the one taking recess for f'ing Easter of all things.
no one shut down their job and prevented everyone from working for over a week just because they didnt get their way, either.
Typical republican sophistry
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.
This "people should work harder" point is always made by people who haven't done a honest day's work in decades.
Seriously, what does Mike Johnson do? Sit around in rooms exchanging shitty ideas with out of touch, untouchable millionaires?
He has an app on his adult son's phone to track his porn viewing habits. He's a creep that has no ground to stand on to criticize others.
Get me a job that pays at least minimum wage. Anything less isn't deserving of anyone's effort.
The Trump admin just made their fatal mistake. They. Attacked. Gamers.
Fuck you, I've worked 8+ hours a day for the past 30 years & I will do whatever the fuck I want in my off time.
Reminder: Mike Johnson has never actually worked a real job.
He's a hypocrite & if there is a Hell, he'll be burning right there beside me.
Hes totally a drain on Oxygen ressources. He should stop using it.
Fuck you. Pay me.
They targeted gamers.
