- lukas099 4y agoYou're moving the goalposts. Your complaint was about healthy, able-bodied adults who don't want to work. Btw, not that it matters, but I'm against student loan forgiveness.

- p0pcult 4y ago>We need to do this less, not more. Why? So you don't feel like a rube for working? Why don't you stop working, if that's the case, and cash in on this sweet sweet deal you allege these "healthy able-bodied adults" get?
- ssklash 4y agoI would try carrying that though to its logical conclusion. Healthy people who don't want to work (aka don't have value, as work == value) shouldn't be given money. Money is needed to survive. Therefore it is okay if the person does not survive? Or rephrased as, if you don't work, you should not live? I hope that's not really how you feel, but it seems like the clear logical conclusion to that kind of thinking.
- monero-xmr 4y agoSociety requires people to contribute. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and we do not have robot slaves that do everything for us as we laze around. If you want to survive, you need to contribute. Wanting to play video games all day while other people work to fulfill your lazy desires is what a child thinks.
