The max is generally: food, shelter, health care, education, communication

  But what good is the minimum? Food that you grow and cook yourself, or fried chicken at McDonald's? Shelter - at what size is the minimum? I remember US standards increased the size of the houses two-fold within the past 30 years (I might be mistaken, I can't find the source now). Health care - does it include complex treatments? Education - would signing up to Coursera classes be considered minimum, or a drop in the level of education? Communication - I considered a broadband minimum for reasonable standard of life. Would 10 Mbt/second be guaranteed? I do not think everyone shares this opinion what is minimum standard of life. When working with others, you would see disagreement over all aspects of it - and it will prove hard to come to an agreement how to define the exact minimum. Furthermore, it might become very hard if the resource you are distributing is referred as a 'free' one.
