If you don't want a solution, then you will fail. I frequently make healthy meals for $1/plate; don't tell me I can't when I do. Covering meals in 25 minutes or less means time earn for other needs. Give me specifics, and a willingness to make money work, and I'll give you good inexpensive solutions to all needs. The notion of a "worker driven job market", where menial tasks make enormous salaries, or "there should be some alternative", is pure fantasy. Of course everyone has alternatives: anyone can pick a preferred job, find an open position for it, and apply. Supply-and-demand is an economic law: garbage collection is not a high-paying job, because there's always someone willing to do it for less. You think GC should be high-paying, but you're not willing to pay someone high to do it; concocting (and forcing on others) a society inclined as you indicate would quickly devolve back to what we have now, precisely because easy & widely-available jobs are not worth high pay. Bottom line: it takes a certain amount of effort to live off the land (go watch Primitive Technology on YouTube); everything else is an alternative because we contract for better options, and wishing for better doesn't work.
