The former billionaire, who inherited a coal mining business from his father, presides over a state where 29% of residents are on Medicaid
When Senator Jim Justice of West Virginia was asked about the Senate Republicans’ newly released portion of the proposed spending bill that requires parents of children older than 14 to work for Medicaid, he said, “biblically, we are supposed to work.”

It’s nuts that our health insurance is tied to employment here in the US.
Even more nuts that they specifically want it to be that way to coerce people into working in order not to be left to die
but social safety nets make exploitation and control harder to keep
Entrepreneurship doesn’t pay for lobbyists to bribe politicians though
Yeah sure. It also says we are supposed to be stewards of the earth and take care of each other as if we are brothers and sisters. Yet they push legislation to destroy the earth under our “biblical” care and treat others like criminals and garbage. But please go on with your corperate bullshit. The Bible says not to take the lords name in vein. That doesn’t mean shouting “god fucking damnit” when you stubborn your pinky toe. I means using your diety as the reason for entirely unbiblical bullshit. So, basically, go fuck yourself dude.
yeah and “biblically” we’re supposed to be feeding, clothing, washing, and housing the homeless as Jesus commanded. We’re supposed to be taking care of the ill, as Jesus commanded. We’re supposed to “love thy neighbour” and treat everyone, regardless of their gender, race, sexual orientation, equally as Jesus commanded.
But of course we’re not doing any of that and according to the Bible and Jesus that’s an instant ticket to “Hell”.
If Heaven exists it must be a fairly empty place.
Biblically you shouldnt hoard power and wealth and yet that taint of a human does.
Jesus famously didn’t give bread and fish unless you’d been working real hard that year.
Supply Side Jesus
Always love a chance to share this comic:
Wait wait wait wait. You’re telling me, a bunch of poor rural white people elected an out-of-touch billionaire who never worked a day in his life, and it’s news that he doesn’t give a flying rat’s ass about those he represents?
Well fuck me sideways.

It’s weird how Christian dominionists never mention the Jubilee. You’re supposed to forgive all debts every seven (edit: 7 sets of 7, 49) years, and you can’t really own land - God does.
The only parts they read in Leviticus are the ones about killing gays though.
They certainly skipped 18? 19? where it directs people to treat foreigners in your land like the native born.
Biblically, this man is going to hell.
Then why doesn’t this guy get a real job?
But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.
In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
“luckily, I have 50, so this doesn’t apply to me.”
Cool, so he follows the bible and is saying people should be working just as much, or little, as him, right? RIGHT!? What a joke.
I remember hearing about journalists as a kid, the ones who would actually ask questions and investigate. Not just reguritate whatever word vomit these troglodytes spew.
Jesus Christ, famously against feeding and healing the poor.
