Why wouldn't they? Do you think folk would just sit on ass after getting the handout? Would you? Some, perhaps - but they sit on ass now - and have no social safety net or anything, they outdoors.

The human condition is to endeavour. Even with free money the majority of folk will work, or do something to improve their situation.

I would certainly keep myself engaged and busy with my hobbies. But that is unlikely to produce anything of real value for anyone else.
