Naive to think that those who set the prices won't just adjust the baseline to absorb the entirety of your monthly allowance.

Better to just establish a system of community property that equitably shares and distributes necessities and the means of producing goods or providing services without the need to satisfy an arbitrary profit incentive of some private individual who will put their greed over your needs out of a sense of entitlement gained from their private ownership over such means.
