This is a serious economic strategy labeling people as "useless eater", you know who called it that? Nazi Germany. They called it "Unnütze Esser"
(lit. "useless eaters" or "useless mouths") Similar to life unworthy of life, a designation for people who dont or refuse to work, people with serious medical problems or disabilities, and other Untermenschen not deemed to be useful to Germany. It was used in the 1938 children's book Der Giftpilz by Julius Streicher, and in Philip K. Dick's book The Man in the High Castle and its television adaptation.
