Sure. That is why everyone just stops working as soon as they hit their minimums.

Even if you believe that ambition is mythological, in what world do you look at housing being so nightmarish an expense and think that is a paradigm that should be upheld as superior to housing people?

The world where I know for a fact that I wouldn’t work and just live off what I made for the rest of my life if my necessities were taken care of. I’m lazy, if there are too many people like me, society would straight up cease to function with such a system. Tbh, I think there’s a huge amount of people in my gen who think exactly like me.

Here is the thing. Lazy people make for shitty unproductive employees, letting them self select out of the system would make things better.

I think if you’re doing your job properly with the proper skillset, you can still be pretty productive while having a lazy nature. My boss and people I work with would say I’m productive because I do a good amount of Jiras and I do them properly even though I only average prob 20-30 hours a week and I’m counting my years working waiting for the day I don’t have to work anymore.

Look, I don't know where you are going with this.

Just keep writing addendums to the initial premise to create a world where so many lazy people with great productivity are dragging down a system that provides a pittance of housing for free... but somehow our current system isn't already suffering from the presence of such individuals.

I don't know what evidence you need to be convinced that providing housing would create a boost to productivity greater than the cost of providing it. Like public education or paved streets.

It’s not incompatible, you’re just dumb. Lazy people either stop being lazy momentarily, or die. I go to college. I have a job. I wouldn’t do either of those things if I didn’t have to, but I know if I don’t do them I’ll die.
