I'll tell you what. I have had to interact with some people in retail or fast food who were technically able to work, but I really wish they didn't. I would chip in some money from every paycheck for those people to stay home, do something they enjoy. Maybe do a kind of work they are good at, but doesn't pay much. Some people are born with the drive to be a ceo, nfl level athlete or what not. Some are born eith the drive to solve problems, help people, or what not but also to relax. And some people are born with no drive at all. They are capable of working, but the lack of drive means they will never be any good at it. So if you don't force people to work, you will find most still will in some form. And the ones who don't... it's better for all of us that they don't.
