@vicfroh I believe the belief that people are lazy and won't work is fuelled by unstainable work schedules and burnout productivity demands that make people not want to work because it harms them.

@vicfroh Manitoba’s Mincome experimentA landmark study performed in Manitoba showed that guaranteed annual income could improve the lives of people in poverty."New mothers chose to stay at home longer with their babies and teenaged boys stayed in school instead of dropping out before Grade 12 to help support their families..Dauphin had lower rates of domestic violence, work‐related injuries, farm and motor vehicle accidents, and mental illnesses than in surrounding areas." https://humanrights.ca/story/manitobas-mincome-experiment
