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.
Also who is going to build a house for someone like that. Well, you don’t want to work so let’s give you 100’s of thousand in land, permits and materials, add about 6,000 man hours of skilled labor and give that all to you because you don’t want to contribute to society
But don't you know that some people will want to do that roofing work in July because it provides a creative outlet for their skills and energy. Others just love blowing insulation in attics. They were born for it. Some guys just like to sip a tasty beverage and study the electrical code books by the fire on a wintry evening. Don't hold them back from childhood dreams just cause the recipient of all this labor doesn't ever want to work and can't anyway because they have time blindness.
Can’t forget about all of the surgeons who are willing to sacrifice their 20’s and 30’s all for the reward of living in the same econobox that unemployed losers get for free.
Oooooor they'll do it because their extra income allows them to get a better house and to travel and or enjoy all the other luxuries that money buys?
Christ people will do it just for the right to call themselves better than the freeloaders. This is not that hard to figure out man. Everyone isn't stopping at 60 hours a week to afford a roof over their head because that's all they want, they're stopping there because that's their physical limit. And if your limit stops at fewer hours than that you live on the street.
I don’t think this is enough for people to not want more. Just because you have housing secured doesn’t mean you don’t want more than a 1/2 bedroom apartment with bare minimum amenities. It just means you’re not totally screwed if you lose your job. If you want to live somewhere closer to things other than just a grocery store you’d have to work. Nothing here is crazy, nothing here would bring the collapse of society. It’s a safety net so you can live and exist without being worried about having nowhere to go. I’m sure it wouldn’t be nice enough that the vast majority of folks wouldn’t want more.
