You'll find that, overall, it's actually the opposite. Healthy people who have all of their basic needs covered feel a big incentive to do productive and valuable work. Sure, there will be the freeloader here and there. But in general, people want to do cool things, even boring or simple things, as long as they feel they are contributing to something good.

Yup. People WANT to work. And some people cannot afford to get jobs. Yes, I'm serious. Work clothes, a place to sleep, a permanent address, identification can all be barriers to employment.
