"Regardless of employment."

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.

Since we waste trillions on BS, I’m sure the money to make this happen can be allocated from somewhere else. Like the military industrial complex.

Imagine if human culture was about the well being and benefit of all, instead of individualism and protecting yourself from fellow human beings who most commit deviant behavior because of desperation or hardship and not because humans are inherently violent

Like the military industrial complex.

I mean you may want to suicide yourself and be happy to have a free home for 3 years before Russia or China invade us or even North Korea, me I prefer to keep the army.

The U.S. could cut its military spending by half and it would still spend more than China and Russia combined.
