Eh who am I kidding, it’s the teenagers subreddit so 95% of it is middle aged men.

Oh, it absolutely does. There was a policing effort in Australia to make sure people on welfare actually needed it and iirc they spent millions to find maybe a few hundred K. It's better just to let people claim welfare when they need it, no job seeking requirement, no asset tests, nothing. I'm sure you'd get a few rich failsons claiming the coupla hundred a week but most people who have enough money that it's genuinely ridiculous for them to be on welfare aren't gonna bother.
Tax those rich failures right and you'd just get it back at the end of the year anyway. Someone who is only living off survival means because they dont wanna work that badly even if you cant find any other reason than it is their preference, which seems stupendously rare, but if this hermit style guy exists, I dont want them to die. Make work itself meaningful, fulfilling and properly compensated and this marginal group that is already borderline imaginary wouldnt exist. The only thing I will ever call human nature is that we like to build stuff.
