  Even more nuts that they specifically want it to be that way to coerce people into working

    That’s what they want. Work or die. It’s that black and white for slave working class.

  Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

  When he saw them, he said, “I’m sorry, your health insurance is not in network.” And as they went, they collapsed and died, because they were lazy freeloaders who didn’t work hard enough.
