The local government where I live tried to implement something along these lines. Anyone living in public housing who was not disabled and not employed was to be required to put in 20 hours a MONTH doing routine maintenance type work around the community, such a planting flowers, mowing lawns, cleaning up trash, etc. The plan was defeated by local liberals. Their “logic”? It was discriminatory to force people to work in order to have housing. Now, I don’t know what anyone’s housing situation is on here, but I guess I have been discriminated against without even realizing it! If I quit working, I won’t be able to pay my mortgage and I’ll lose my house. I am being forced to work in order to maintain my housing — that’s discrimination!
Just goes to show you how far out of whack this country is now.
