oh no!

Thanks for the replies. Obviously this is an unrealistic scenario but I just wanted to see how you all thought people would behave when their basic necessities were already met. It gives a lot of insight into why people advocate certain policies. I found it particularly interesting that there wasn't a single comment about any possible upsides even in the short term.

i dont think there is any upside into turning a culture into dependence rather than providing for itself.

You lose liberty and freedoms that way.

Its sounds like a rosey utopia, but it would never work, other countries have tried, its unsustainable. Our society has never been meant to have a "everyone deserves everything" type of system. its engineered more towards survival of the fittest.
