Laziness makes the economy very rich. Think of all the things you buy because you want to put less effort into doing something.
Would you buy a TV without a remote?
or a car without electric windows?
Most people drive rather than walking - it's not that they can't walk but they're basically too lazy!
How often do you phone out for pizza or other home-delivered food? Or buy pre-prepared meals instead of cooking from basic raw ingedients?
Who has a newspaper delivered rather than going to a shop or newsstand to buy one?
Who uses online banking rather than walking (or driving) down to the bank?
Who would wash their clothes by hand nowadays?... just about everyone has a washing machine, many have a tumble drier, a microwave, a dishwasher, a hoover etc etc.
These are all labour-saving devices which are basically substitutes for doing the same job "the hard way" (ie. with more effort required).
Huge sections of the economy are based solely on the fact that people want to put less effort into doing something - ie based on laziness!

it has a bad effect on all the economy. the government has to give you money to live on , pay your medical bills etc rent assistance so every area is short of the funds they need to give everyone a fair go .
