You are precisely the kind of person who causes people to question welfare. I know exactly how to give you a good reason to contribute society. If we stop giving you free food and shelter, and if you want to not starve, you will find a job. In the current system you will get removed instantly if you are not competitive enough or take a little too much time to work on something. That's how capitalism works: only the numbers matter. People are not machines. Competition can be a problem if it becomes more important than cooperation. Unemployment is the failure of cooperation. How would you know this? By your words, you have never worked more than a month in your entire life.

> You are precisely the kind of person who causes people to question welfare. Yet basic income has become a large conversation. > If we stop giving you free food and shelter, and if you want to not starve, you will find a job. Sure, go do that. I'm not against it, I'm just scared that so many people will starve and not find a job, that those people will start rioting pretty quickly. That's an aspect you don't seem to think about. > How would you know this? By your words, you have never worked more than a month in your entire life. Well not getting hired for the same reason is the same thing.
