I think you're basically agreeing with the comment you replied to. They're saying people who are financially secure (possibly like a software engineer) are less incentivized to work hard. Someone who really needs the money is more incentivized.
If you got the same pay whether or not you showed up to work each day, you'd be less incentivized to show up.
"incentivizing" is such an anodyne word for this cruelty.
I'm not advocating poverty, nor do I think was the parent comment. They were just in agreement with you that poor people work hard.

Do you have an actual argument or are you just going to nitpick word choices?
Words matter. Let's be clear about the human costs of what we are describing.
You are still completely missing the point. Stop deciding you want to be angry about my comment before actually reading it.
I don't think so.
And yet I am paid 5-10X what they are.
