Well the idea of free money always raises red flags for me. basic needs still have to be provided and maintained somehow, time and effort and thus value must be applied. What would be the incentive for workers to continue investing their time and value into the very systems that are providing them and everyone else with the basic necessities? if they are provided for then why continue working, just to provide for everyone else? instilling a universal concern for others sounds like a dangerous element of the deadly collectivist ideologies of the not-so-distant past.

Material things given for free quickly become worthless.

How is this different?
