If someone gets really hungry and still doesn't work then they probably can't. I am willing to bet that even Brian would work if he missed a few meals.

Quote:As one example, science and medicine cite anxiety and depression as illnesses which can cripple one's ability to be a productive worker. These two factors don't necessarily make one unable to perform work, but they can if severe enough.If it's severe enough then I don't mind helping out. However, people that perform daily functions such as driving, cooking, shopping, smoking cigarettes, etc. can work. Look at Brian. He smokes his cigs while driving around fucking off but he is so depressed and has so much anxiety that he just can't do anything that might earn some money.
He can work and be productive. He just wants to be a lazy taker because he is allowed to do it.
