Sure, but is it good for the person to not work? I get that you don't care what happens to the business, but the question isn't about the business - it's about the person. We get that this is the best economic decision for them, but are they happier? Do they feel fulfillment? Is society better-off?


Some people are just like that. They consume and then they die. Not everyone has to achieve something and for me and you this may be unthinkable, but some people just don't feel the need. They are perfectly happy with spending their life watching TV or similar.


Sure, but is that actually good for them?
