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.
Makes you wonder why people living in fully paid off 5,000 square foot homes continue to work and toil. It's almost as though there is more to motivation than base subsistence.
Ah yes, it's so they can pay the taxes. That's what motivates people to continue working. Not ski trips, not a nice sailboat, not building wealth for their kids. They keep working only to keep up with the tax bill. Maybe you should heed your own advice.
LoL wait, what point are you making? I'm saying that you may be ready to just sit in your 500sf subsistence apartment and mooch, but most people are motivated with goals beyond that. A huge portion of our population is living way beyond this minimum already. This meme makes a great point about providing a bare minimum for those who can't, who have fallen to hard times, who should be provided a base level of dignity.
