We seem to expect worse of others than of ourselves. Even if it turns out to be that 40% ends up stopping to do anything remotely useful, it’s at least worth trying and finding out what works and what doesn’t imo. Having the right to choose how to live your life freely seems like an enormous benefit that a minority needn’t ruin
I mean it’s pretty obvious that people don’t tend to stop working.
All you have to do is look at groups of people who either don’t need income. Take a look at retired people for example, and you see many of them doing something productive with at least part of their time.
They may choose to do things that aren’t a paid job, like childcare for grand children, taking care of a home, or volunteering, but those are still work in my opinion.
Hell my own grandmother retired from being a grocery cashier for 40 years, then got bored and went back to work for another 5 years because she liked being social (it was a smaller town where she knew most of the customers).
I coincidentally heard something about that today. Sadly in German but according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGE8jzGZ7To
80% of people said they would continue working
80% of people thought others would not
