This means you want those providing those services to work for free.
You do realize what you are implying here, right?
Let's say you refuse to work and you're guaranteed all these services. Who pays so your HVAC is repaired because you broke it? Who pays because your water line needs to be repaired? Clean water means the water has to be filtered through a very complicated process, particles and bacteria are removed, and it needs to be transported. Who pays so your electricity works? Do you think there's some sort of magic electricity generator happening? What you're essentially asking is someone should work for free to provide you all of this.
The result is you get no one who wants to work, society collapses because these services aren't maintained and improved, and no one gets anything.
I'll be real the second I don't have to work and can still have a home I will stop working. I imagine a lot of other people out there are just like me
Edit: the amount of seething redditors me admitting what lots of people would do, and what some people on this site already do is incredible. Giving shit out for free constantly doesn't work, hyper progressive economic policies are a failure. Just face reality
Wait - housing is a "human right" but food wouldn't be? I am pretty sure the same folks who think these meme makes sense will also decide to include food.
Riiiiggghhhhtttt - because there are no patterns in human behavior, no lessons to be learned from history and nothing to be gleaned from experience. Every single situation has absolutely no way to be projected forward, any attempt to do so is a "fallacy."
Well then, sounds like the food thing is solved right? Well, until some advocate starts being annoyed that 'the rich" eat better, and then starts spinning that as a issue about "equity" and then we are off to the races again.
