The monthly tugboat is Chris's euphemism for his Social Security Disability check. Essentially, the United States government has a taxpayer-funded program to financially support disabled individuals who are unable to work-but many recipients are simply diagnosis-holders who choose not to work despite being able to do so. Like Chris. Chris receives $800 a month, with $450 going to his parents for room and board. The rest of it goes to either video games or straight up his ass. However, $350 was nowhere near close enough to satisfy Chris's desire to purchase porn and video games. As of July, he has at least $2000 of credit card debt, including on cards he stole from his parents.
On the advice of his father, Chris doesn't get a job because the tugboat gives him more money overall. Your tax dollars at work, people.
In a recent mailbag, Chris revealed his belief that by being "on the tugboat" he is actually helping the economy and other people on welfare as well, though he fails to elaborate on his economic theory beyond that.
