Nobody is assuming every single person is going to go out and work… Hell I would argue that most people don’t want to work in general but hey… Capitalism…
However, I think that this argument is slowing down real progress that could be made. We both agree that housing and food is a great way to lower barriers and help people get stable. This will, at the very least, help every single one of those people regardless of if they decide to get a job after. So we should at least start here and get everyone stable first.
I agree, and I didn’t intend for this to be an argument to do nothing. But I do think it’s necessary to have a plan for this situation because few things are worse than setting out with the best intentions and being met with misfortune and failure anyways, since it can take a long time to pick yourself up again after that.
Basically what I’m saying is, if you go out into the forest, it’s a good idea to be prepared for running into a wild animal. Best case scenario, it will never happen, but if you keep going again and again, chances are that one day it will. And if you don’t have a plan for what to do in that situation, you might end up as their dinner.
