I'm able to do some types of work, even though all my attempts so far have been torturous for me and subpar for the employers.

And I'm certainly able to work according to society, in particular the doctors who have found me mentally and physically healthy.

And yet instead of working, I'm taking resources away from others while contributing nothing. I consider this a better ethical outcome than making my life even more intolerable in the name of fairness. I would vote for a feasible basic income in a heartbeat.

I'd also vote for legalising suicide as an arguably more moral alternative to both leeching off of society and living lives not worth living.

Anyone outraged by the prospect of paying for others' laziness has yet to agree with me that forcing people to contribute to society while depriving them of legal access to safe and comfortable means of exiting society is unfair, too.
