I think problem is with how basic is demand. Basic is food and nutrition? Fine, mushy food, tasteless but has all the proteins and carbs and vitamins should be available for free to everyone, but they must be Tasteless, textureless. No one should get tatsy FOOD.
Shelter? Everyone must have comfy temperature place to sleep, but place to sleep, 2m x 0.5m x 0.5m should be made free for everyone. Maybe a 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.5m storage space for personal things.
Healthcare should be available for everyone at all times. And it should be top tier and vast.
Education should be available to everyone at all times.
Prisons awaiting trials should be comfortable, but people condemned from the trial should be put to Labour.
I think nothing else classifies as BASIC need. Taste is not a basic need. Entire house is not a BASIC need. Never give out cash to people in need.
That's my theory on finding balance between people unwilling to contribute to society because of benefits. And people doing terrible jobs because they don't want to go hungry or need shelter or medical care. This way people are free to pursue ventures without the worry for BASIC needs.
