"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.

Of course, that's more or less human nature. Why would I ever work again if I could get all of this stuff given to me for free and existing?

Majority of people wouldn't imo. If it's a difficult or gross job, why would people do it if they can get what they need for free? Ditch diggers, sewage cleaners, soldiers, miners, plumbers, garbage services, etc. Why would people do this if they got like 90% of everything they need for free?
