I don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you redefining certain unemployed people as “idle”?
This doesn’t have to be some deep philosophical take: You’re either employed or you’re not.

Well the poll question was "unemployed" not "not employed" so I was commenting on that. Unemployment occurs when a person who is actively searching for employment is unable to find work, that is the traditional meaning.
If you're living off investments or other passive income, you're not a worker but you're also not unemployed. Same if you're a minor and don't need to work because your custodians provide for you.
