There are jobs I want to work, they just don't pay a living wage.
But let's say you could also make that living wage just by existing. In a world where you wake up each day and a day's worth of your living wage was automatically deposited into your account whether you worked a job you liked or even if you went out for a walk in the park...would you still choose to work every day?
Define "work".
If by "work", you mean contributing to the capitalistic growth of The Economy™, then no I wouldn't want to work.
If by "work" you mean meaningfully contribute to my community and society as a whole, yes I'd still want to work. Not every day, but I was on unemployment benefits for almost a year, and it gets boring after a while not feeling like a useful member of your community.
