A comedian has released a video in which he mocks “woke” Americans who are able-bodied but still collecting unemployment aid.
Disheveled hair and loose clothes characterize John Crist, who is known for making fun of progressive Leftist practices such as Cancel Culture and virtue signaling. He explains to the audience that he enjoys the luxury of waking up at 11:00 a.m. because of the government’s unemployment benefits.
“What have I taken from my country this year? Let’s see — two stimulus checks, weekly unemployment, student loan forgiveness,” brags Crist. “What have I contributed to my country?” he asks before racking his brain and finding nothing.
“Also, I don’t pay taxes of any sort,” he adds later. “But it’s weird because I still have a lack of self-awareness to get on the internet and complain about America.”
“I’m on unemployment because I enjoy the freedom. Which, ironically, an able-bodied person now relying on the government for their survival is actually the opposite of freedom.”
Unfortunately, Crist’s assessment is startlingly accurate in many ways.
According to Department of Labor data, the number of posts available in the United States increased to 10.1 million as of June, the greatest amount ever recorded by the agency. Meanwhile, there are 8.7 million persons looking for work in the United States, indicating that there are more openings available than there are unemployed people.
