🧠 What would happen to a society in which no one had to work, and everyone was provided enough food/water/shelter/healthcare for free?

People would be free to indulge in creative activities, sports, homemaking, esoteric pursuits &c, and would also choose to work or contribute voluntarily in areas where they could get personal fulfilment and provide needed services.
As automation becomes a bigger factor in employment, I believe we need to look to a new economic model that ensures that a nation’s wealth is redistributed to everyone in the country, and I support the introduction of Universal Unconditional Basic Income for all.

I completely agree with you. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words. — Have you ever heard about the “Ressourcebased Economy” invented by Jacque Fresco?

Not that particular piece , though I’m familiar with Malcolm Torry’s “Money For Everyone” which covers similar ground, though it’s a bit heavy-going but well researched economics.
