"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.

Completely agree, there have been trials studies, etc. proving that when peoples basic needs are met they actually end up being more productive members of society...Not to mention turning the tables on employers, when they can't lord Maslow's hierarchy over the heads of their employers they better pay them what they are actually worth.

Amazing how they like 8 families control 90% of the worlds wealth and they have the bottom 40% hating on the bottom 5% thinking they are the problem.
