Lol.
The only way that the Lazy won't impact Services and day-to-day life is if they are excluded from them (Al a Ocean1). Services take time, skills and resources (even if you remove the Monetary restraint, which as I've pointed out previously is merely a medium of exchange).
If you do not contribute anything in the way time, skills or resources then you are a Net drain. Period.

Actually, it's the other way around, Money is an attempt to solve the problem - by giving us a commonly accepted and understood unit of value that is easily divisible.
How many Sheep is a Cow worth? That's a nearly impossible question to answer, however if everyone agrees that a Cow is worth $500 and a Sheep is worth $300 - then it makes comparing dissimilar items easier.

Given, without return.
Sounds almost like the definition of a Loss to me....

Well, the Debt can always be repaid - the bit that you are oh so carefully ignoring is that it is Human Nature to want more and so people are always borrowing.
But you know - Details and all that....
