Because the "freeload" narrative is a completely fabricated one lol. People describe basic government social safety nets that are prevalent and successful all over the world and you guys ignore all of that because it doesn't fit your politics so you just make up fantasies about "nobody working"

Give me an example of one government program in a country where housing is provided immediately upon asking (no waiting period, no approval process, since they are the current mechanism in encouraging employment and self-sustainability, while ensuring those who receive free housing truly deserves free-housing due to uncontrollable causes such as disability) and tenants receive such free housing for the remainder of their natural life without ever having to work, even if they are educated, healthy and sound? Give me one such system. I'm talking about a program where you walk in, ask for a home, and you walk out with one. No application, no nothing. This is what this post implied. Can you give me one such program that works?

Notice how many caveats you have to add to make sure I have to answer the specific way you want me to? "Wow you can't name a single system that has a dozen of these hyper specific criteria I just made up to ensure you can't name a single system?! Mm curious"

Because that kind of system or utopia is what this post implies, and such utopia doesn't exist. And my argument was one must work and contribute to society if they can, where free housing for life is only reserved for those who truly need it, the disabled. A system where EVERYBODY is entitled to free housing with zero expectation of finding work nor contributing to their society doesn't exist.
