Man, that would be sweet
Right now we theoretically have that, but in practice it's a Kafka-esque bureaucratic nightmare to partake in social services, and once you fall of the Employment Train it's extremely hard to get back on unless you have connections or very valuable skills
I wonder what society would be like with a perfect safety net.. I'm kinda worried we'd end up with horrible ghettoes full of disgruntled people like the future in Judge Dredd, but I want to believe that society would adjust and we'd value connecting to other people, learning, and enriching ourselves
