    This is why we really need a system where people can spend their whole paycheck and still be fine.

      I do believe people should have the right to spent their money however the f they want, but this becomes extremely problematic if you don’t at least regulate their spending behavior, either directly or indirectly.

      So okay, now you have a society full of hopeless addicts, but at least nobody has to starve. Sound kinda… dystopian if you ask me

        I really don’t think everyone is not an addict because of lack of opportunity. If anything I would say many addicts arise from an attempt to escape a reality that does not meet their needs.
