Our society already produces far more than we need, it’s just sucked up by the owner class. If we removed the owner class and their hoarding, we could all work less and still have more than enough to provide for those unwilling or unable to completely provide for themselves.
I personally would be happy to do a bit of work to help ensure people aren’t starving or freezing to death because they’re going through a depressive episode or even if they’re just “lazy fucks”. Pretty sure every one I’d consider a friend thinks the same.
You know, it’s people with an attitude like yours, unwilling to help out without direct benefit, who I consider lazy, not the person with low ambition.
I’m more than happy to contribute to benefit the group. I don’t consider enabling freeloaders to be a benefit. If I want to feed someone that sits around not doing anything all day I’ll get a cat.
A broken leg is a temporary condition. As soon as it’s mended I would be back at it (if not before, I also have computer skills that would not be inhibited by a broken leg). Laziness is a personality issue and they will not overcome it if they just have everything they need handed to them.
And who is having to work extra to pick up their slack? That housing, food, and healthcare all require labor from others.

Good thing people like me exist that will not only feed the “freeloaders”, but take care of you too when you break your leg.
