I have a controversial opinion. But every living human should work. Otherwise it is a drain on the planet Earth.

Yes if they just live to live and consume, we're just speeding up our extinction, and the rest of the Earth with us.

Do you consider parenthood and learning as work towards good?

Do you think subsidizing everyone including "lazy" or stagnant people would have a net benefit if it reduced the amount of violence, crime, and suffering? Or do you not factor that type of balance into your reasoning?
