    I think universal basic services would be better because that can’t be gamed by adjusting prices. Things like food, housing, healthcare, and education should be provided unconditionally.

      I like universal service too. Is there a good read that discusses how it would work with food and housing? Both sectors are currently very much profit looking, so I’d be curious to learn how they would be transformed.

        European social policies from the post wars were very much structured around providing services.
