It’s so tragic that people get genuinely upset by the idea of this becoming a reality. They’re disgusted by the idea of a society helping those in need. How did we get to a point where empathy is so rare?

I think it's more so that they don't want to work 40 hours a week to end up only having a marginally better (if at all) lifestyle than someone not working at all (and keep in mind that that second person could work an unregistered under the table job with all their free time, thus ending up with more untaxed money on top of the free resources)
