>if every individual had a bunch of free money and decided to not work

It would be predicated on the amount wouldn't it?

Presumably 65M distributed equally among the people of the state wouldn't be enough for everyone to stop working.

One thing we can say without going into counterfactuals, the execs probably didn't work 28M harder, or produce 28M in value.
