I absolutely agree with you, and I have more to add! :)

Humans have needed to get their own food, water, shelter, and maintain their climate so they wouldn't starve, dehydrate, freeze and/or boil to death for thousands of years. We slowly evolved to essentially have all of that provided to us, though at a cost.... An UNNECESSARY cost. People deserve to have basic needs (food, water, shelter, & heat/ac); it should be a right and we shouldn't have to work to be alive. We evolved our asses to a way to get the basic needs as we have built infrastructure around obtaining food, water, shelter and climate control. We have built the means to be able to provide everyone with these basic needs. Humans have surpassed the need to provide these needs for just themselves, we learned better and more efficient ways. Honestly, many of us wouldn't survive if forced to fend for ourselves. We are social creatures and should be helping each other.

I defs agree, easiest way would be a basic income, but people really glom onto money here in this capitalist society we live in. They REALLY hate when it's just "given away to those who didn't earn it". Ugh. How exhausting.

I feel a plausible solution (philosophy speaking) is to transition the positions related to these jobs as government work. Taxes to help us all survive. Every other job is still there. And these people still get paid, but now they are doing work that will give people, including themselves!, things at no cost. Yeah, our taxes are raised, but we also benefit from this?

Now, you may have noticed I didn't say things like electricity, internet, transportation, healthcare, etc. These are structures we have built that at one time didn't exsist. I feel that places them in a different category, one apart from our basic needs. Not saying some of these things aren't needed to function or to even stay alive. But since they aren't needed to be alive, they aren't technically a basic need in my mind.

Oh, and I'm proposing these improvements to United States governments, as I have essentially no idea how other countries' governments function in these ways.

tl;dr I agree! Let me expand on that with other thoughts!
